Braga concerns for Cesc

(GSM) – Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has warned his team-mates against complacency ahead of the Gunners’ trip to Sporting Braga on Tuesday.

The North London side brushed aside the Portuguese side with a 6-0 win at home as they went on to win their opening three games in their UEFA Champions League group.

However, last time out they went down 2-1 at Shakhtar Donetsk and the Spanish ace insists Arsenal need to make sure they do not under-estimate Braga.

“We have two games left in the group, both difficult, especially the one away to Braga – but we will try to win the group,” said Fabregas.

“We will do our best and if we play the football we know, focus 100 per cent and don’t treat the opponents softly, then I am sure we can win the group.”

Fabrgeas says Braga will be a different proposition playing in Portugal.

“Playing in their own stadium, in front of their own fans, we knew Shakhtar would be a different team to the one we faced at the Emirates last month, and to be fair to them, I thought they played well,” he continued.

“But it was down to us, it was our fault, we let them back into the game.

“We had to retain possession better and control the game, but we didn’t and in the end, we paid for that.

“The manager said the same after the game – once we were ahead, we took the game too easily.

“We had just scored five against them, we are top of the group and maybe we were thinking that a draw would be a good result.

“But in football, you can never be complacent, you can never switch off, otherwise you will pay for it, whoever you play against.”

Arsenal, who lead their Champions League Group H thanks to superior goal difference, will assure themselves of a place in the Round of 16 if second placed Shakhtar lose at point-less Partizan.
