Barcelona coach Martino defends Cesc against boo-boys

Barcelona coach Tata Martino has defended Cesc Fabregas after he was jeered by the Nou Camp crowd during victory over Athletic Bilbao.

Cesc was booed throughout the 2-1 win.

"Cesc is a footballer with a lot of determination," said Martino.

"He always wants to be in the thick of the play, he calls for the ball, he never hides away, and he is never afraid of taking a risk and making a mistake. If there is one thing that characterises him, it is his spirit."
