Fabregas: Captains armband made no difference to style of play

Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas insists being handed the captain's armband has not changed how he approaches the game. The Spain international does not feel pressured by the extra responsibility after he inherited the armband from defender William Gallas.

"There is extra responsibility but nothing changes for me," the 22 year old told Football Punk magazine.

"Sometimes I play badly but I always try to give everything in every game.

"I've learned a lot. I know my responsibility. I know my job as a captain now and everyone is helping me.

"If I have to say something now, I feel more capable than maybe a year ago."
