Its been a week of firsts on Footy Boots. First to show you the official images of the Nike CTR360 Maestri, first to provide an in-depth wear test review of the boot and now, first again as we get the views of Cesc Fabregas who will be wearing the CTR360 from this weekend.

As part of the VIP audience invited to the launch day of the CTR360, one of the highlights for us was listening to the Arsenal and Spain star who was actively involved with the evolution of the new football boot.

Fabregas was on stage with his good friend and countryman, Sky Sports La Liga expert Guillem Balague who began with a few questions about the boot itself.

GB: Two of the key characteristics of your game are control and passing. Does it help to have Nike develop the CTR360 boots that are based on your style of play?

CF: Definitely. I think now Ive been training with them for a few weeks. They feel really comfortable, and its great that they can do some special boots for players like me. We pass a lot the ball, with the internal part of the boot or the external part, and for the control its really good, so we are really pleased with it.

GB: How does it help you to control the ball?

CF: Well, it has some new things that they have introduced in the boot. Especially for when you kick the ball with the middle of the foot you dont have the tongue there, you know, and they put some things in the external part as well for the control of the boot. It makes it softer, and I think it feels really good and Im excited about playing with it.

GB: One of the fascinating things about boots is that every player in different positions use different boots. Do you think thats how it should be?

CF: Well, yes I think so, because every player has different characteristics of play. You can have players like Theo (Walcott), you know, who is really quick, probably who will need a lighter boot. Me, I dont need that. I will always be slow!. But every player is different, really.

GB: Nike is presenting, an online training programme called Nike Football , (read more on this at the foot of??? the interview) and youve been involved in creating some of the content around a signature move, called a 180- degree cushioned turn. Can you tell us about the move?

CF: Well, in midfield you need a lot of movement. You have to be asking for the ball all the time, looking for the ball, and in my position I have to be moving all the time. So you first move the defender outside, then you come back and ask for the ball. And in this one or two seconds that you win, youll create the time to turn on the ball. This allows you to get past your opponent because he lost those one or two seconds. After you can play your team mate in with a simple pass.

GB: Football isnt just something where you go out into the pitch and play. You have to practise these moves, dont you? You have to work at it.

CF: Yes, definitely. You always have a level of instinct, but definitely you have to train a lot. You have to know what you are doing, you have to know when you are doing it, and trying always to make the right decision is difficult.

GB: Do you think the idea behind Nike Football is a good one where young footballers are able to insight and advice from players like yourself, Iniesta, and the Barcelona coaching staff?

CF: Yes, its great, because I think if you look at professional footballers and they show you how to do things you can learn something from it, I think its really good. I used to do that as well, you know, when I was really young. And we are happy that we can help some young talented players as well.

GB: What do you do specifically to train, and improve your touch and your control?

CF: At Arsenal we do a lot of drills with mannequins. You know, always one twos, one-touch, control. The boss likes it a lot. We are a team that, of course knows where every player plays but if the striker can go in midfield, the midfielder can go as a striker. Theres always a lot of movement.

GB: Do you use the space of the training pitch?

CF: Yes, we play a lot of five against two, or sometimes you play seven against three, things like these, always in small places where you dont have time to think. And it helps a lot after, when youre in the game.

GB: Is it fair to think that maybe young footballers dont realise how much work you put into becoming you?

CF: Well, yes. You have to have luck, definitely, but you have to spend a lot of hours training, improving at what you are maybe not as good, trying to be better at what youre already good at. And yes, you have to have someone as well that tells you how to do it!

GB: Because of the way youve developed and trained as a footballer you can play in different positions in midfield and even in the attack, and you do so with Spain. Which position do you prefer?

CF: It is difficult. Probably the one Im playing now is where I feel most comfortable. Im still getting there, you know, to be at my best in that position. Because I think its different, when I started at Arsenal: we were playing 4-4-2, I was one of those two in the middle so I could come very deep to get the ball and when I was young it was really good for me because I had more time from deep positions to link with other players, to move forward from deep.

Now my position is higher up on the pitch, sometimes I dont touch the ball as often as I used to touch, so I have to be patient. But I know Im in this part of the pitch where I can do dangerous things in terms of giving the final ball, and I have more time to go to dangerous positions, you know, to score a goal as well. I feel more freedom in that position.

GB: Youll be playing at Blackburn Rovers on 4th October. Its the first time youll be using the boots in an official game. How important is it, both the touch and control, with teams that dont give you much space?

CF: Its vital. Because when you play against teams like Blackburn, for example, they put a lot of pressure on you, especially in midfield. They know that if they let us play we can be dangerous, and its really difficult to play against them because they are always quick. They mark tight and if you are not quick with your feet and with your control its going to be difficult.
