Cesc targets Bolton
win
Cesc Fabregas has issued a rallying call to his Arsenal
team-mates, insisting they must beat Bolton and push on and claim
fourth place.
The Gunners' season went up in smoke during February and March, as
they were beaten in the Carling Cup final, knocked out of the FA
Cup and UEFA Champions League and lost touch with Manchester United
and Chelsea in the Premiership.
Arsenal seemed on course to secure a place in next season's
Champions League less than a month ago, but three losses and a draw
from their four most recent games have brought them back to the
pack.
Bolton are Arsenal's nearest pursuers and the two teams lock horns
at Emirates Stadium at the weekend.
Spanish midfielder Fabregas is aware of the task at hand and says
it is imperative Arsenal clinch a place at Europe's top
table.
"We have to beat Bolton because we have to fight for the fourth
place and be in Europe next season, then forget about this season,"
Fabregas told the London newspaper.
"We cannot fight for anything else, so it is our job to make
it."
Fabregas claims Arsenal have not had the rub of the green in recent
weeks.
"We always try to win," he added. "I have never gone into a game
without my mentality of trying to win.
"We fought really hard against West Ham on Saturday and again at
Newcastle, so it has been 180 really hard minutes in less than 48
hours.
"It was a good challenge for us, it is just that the goals do not
come."
