Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic says Cesc Fabregas has made as big an impact off the pitch as he has on it.
The pair have formed a formidable partnership this season.
"He's terrible," Matic told chelseafc.com. "One of the worst I've ever played with!
"Seriously though in every moment of the game he knows what he needs to do.
"He's a great player; he's a player with a lot of experience having played at Arsenal and Barcelona. We have a good relationship on the pitch and it's easy to play with him.
"It's very important to play a lot of games next to somebody, because as more and more time passes you get to know them better and better. We've improved together as a pair and I think that's good for the team too because the midfield is such an important part of the pitch."
