Arsene Wenger is confident Arsenal will reap the benefits from Cesc Fabregas’ efforts for Spain at Euro 2008.
Fabregas has been forced to settle for a substitute’s role at Euro 2008, but he has climbed off the bench on three occasions and hit the target.
The midfielder showed his mental toughness when slotting home the decisive penalty in Spain’s win over Italy and Wenger feels it was a key moment for the 21-year-old.
”I prayed that Cesc would score,” said Wenger. “It was a great responsibility for him, all the more because he is not a specialist penalty taker.
”It was a great moment of joy for me when he scored and it was important for him.
”He will grow in confidence as a result and both Spain and Arsenal will reap the benefit.
”He showed real guts to take it as players who miss in these situations are haunted for a long time.”
