An unpublished behind-the-scenes story about the relationship between Fabregas and Inter emerges from a statement made to the microphones of Cronache di Spogliatoio by journalist Biasin.

Fabrizio Biasin recounted what former sporting director Ausilio personally told him: «Fabregas, as Ausilio recently said, also to me personally, has often asked to go and watch Inzaghi’s Inter, because the 3-5-2 is the kind of football he really likes and it has always put him in difficulty».

According to Biasin, therefore, Fabregas has repeatedly expressed the desire to observe the Nerazzurri’s playing system live, fascinated by a formation that, in his opinion, represents a tactical challenge that is difficult to solve.
