Cesc Fabregas: V for Victory
15 February 2009Here’s a cool video from Nike of Cesc’s photo shoot for the V is for Victory campaign – it’s great! It’s a late V is for Valentines day gift from Nike 
There are cappies in the photo section. Below there is a behind the scenes video from the shoot that includes Cesc Fabregas, Andrey Arshavin, Joe Cole, Rafa Nadal and other athletes getting their pose on! You can visit Nike to download wallpapers here.
Cesc has a new tattoo
Thanks to Plu for sharing a photo of Cesc with a new tattoo with us. In addition to the CF on his wrist, Cesc now has a polynesian tattoo on his right arm. The tattoo is the work of ‘Luis Tattoo’ a Barcelona tattoo artist who has previously given tattoos to Thierry Henry, Carles Puyol, Victor Valdes and many other players. There is picture of Luis and more details here.
Praise for Raul – Cesc has praised the career of Real Madrid captain Raul Gonzalez, who has become his club’s all time leading goal scorer with his last goal taking him to 309. Cesc told EFE, “For my generation of footballers in Spain, Raul has always been an example. His goals, his steadfastness and his work ethic over many years, represents the way forward.”
“Raul is a role model to all football players. A role model in the world. Everywhere he is synonymous with Real Madrid. He is an example and I thank him for making history by achieving so many goals.”

That clip of Cesc is just to die for hes so cute and sexy there!
We’re red we’re white YES! we’re ******* dynamite!!
Here’s the team : Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Toure, Gallas, Gibbs, Nasri, Song, Denilson, Vela, Eduardo, Bendtner. Subs: Almunia, Van Persie, Ramsey, Wilshere, Clichy, Bischoff.
Though everyone will know as I think I’m just about missing the start!
Go Eddy!!
GO GUNNERS!!!
I here Eduardo will start!! So good luck to Dudu hope he scores!!
C’mon you mighty gunners do us proud!!
You’re rite TA I’m not saying anything against players having them… I just wouldn’t get one myself.
Anyway good luck to our likely lads!! Turn those welshies over
thanks plu.
arshavin will play today?
I looked them up. I kind of think I get the difference. I really liked the dragon mauri design. It looked really cool.
I’m sure we can win tonight. As Eboue and Arshavin won’t be playing, I wonder who will be on the flanks. Vela maybe?
No word on whether ramsey is fit.
hi Plu
Maori design is very similar to polynesian – lol I don’t know how to explain it there’s just certain motifs that are Maori and certain looks. For example the big tattoo that Robbie Williams had was a Maori tattoo. If you are interested, you can put polynesian tattoo and then maori tattoo in google and then go into images and you’ll see lots of examples and you’ll probably get an idea of what I mean as I can’t really explain it so well 
I’ve started re-doing some of the caps bigger. I’ll replace them all later as I should be able to make them clearer too.
Go Gunners for the game tonight! I know they can do it.
I have absolutely no knowledge when it comes to tattooes. What is a maori design?
alice- lool. Your way of thinking is interesting.
Bri, tattoos are not only for appearance sake though. As it said in the article players have them because “they help them improve their mental strength, to remember who they are, where they have come from and where they are going. The tattoos act as protections and reaffirm, they help them return to believe in themselves. To remember that if they have been great, they can be great again.” Now considering the game is what 80-90% mental and considering how injuries and loss of form can make players feel, if a tattoo can in some way help a player then all power to them.
i dont really like his new tattoo, i’ve seen that pict on fb few days ago dont really like it
nice tattoo looks really cool.
good luck to the lads today. go gunners!!
Ah-ha! So that’s the tattoo. I read that article about that tattoo artist back when it first came out in Sport and it said Cesc had been the most recent customer so I thought he had had a tattoo done but didn’t know what it looked like. Thanks a lot Plu for finding that and posting it
I can’t see it well enough to be sure but you know it looks a lot like a maori design.
OMG!! I HV STARTED FEELIN HOT!!LOL hes so damn hottttt!!!aaahhhh i agree this is the best shoot he ver had:D:D
and at his tattoo…hmmm its kool but im not so much into tattooes..but it luks really gud on him:D
oh n i wish arsneal good luck for todays match..fingers crossed..
I don’t like tattoos personally but I know they’re popular with players.
You know in the second vid you see so many proof sheets of cool looking photos I hope Nike puts those out at some point
Cesc lol so funny XD
he looks so single… new tatoo new year… maybe new girlfriend
well thank you Plu I aim to please,,, have a good one Sambo!
Shhh! Plu you’ll only encourage him
I have to head off to the salt mines now so see you both later
looooooooool. George, your comments always make me laugh.
Thanks George… that’s a yellow card for a deliberate foul son, one more of those and you’re off!
That sounds very tasteful Plu, but I think Cesc as much as I have complete faith in our mighty leader, might just stop at 29
he’s got more ink on him than a newspaper looooool. Very true. Remember that ad of cesc drawing tattoos all over himself during the Euros- that didn’t actually look that bad tbh, but I agree. Let’s hope he doesn’t completely cover himself in them.
It would be worth it. If I was to get a tattoo, I would probably get the Arsenal logo on my upper left arm.
don’t worry Plu,,, you know what they say,,, no brain no pain
Some of Beckham’s work is nice but some of it is pretty tacky and he just doesn’t seem to know when to stop… as he needed too about 5 tattoos ago…
Plu, it would be well worth it…
Thanks for the info.I never knew that was where the prison break idea was taken from.
Pain. I’m a wuss when it comes to pain, so I guess no polynesian tattoo for me.
O_OHaving it tattooed on your butt would probably be even more painful. How would you walk? Let’s hope Cesc scores 31 goals then, so that you won’t have to have it tattooed.
I’ sure he wouldn’t mind scoring one more goal to save you from pain. xd
whaaaat?,, I thought you already had I love Arsenal tattooed on your arse?
It’s pretty nice work but I hope hes not going to go all Beckham on us,,, he’s got more ink on him than a newspaper
Polynesia is a region. NZ has the largest polynesian population of any country in the world so there are a lot of tattoo artists who specialise in that in this country. Tattoos are very common in the culture… they are part of the rite of passage and many Polynesian men have huge tattoos that cover substantial parts of their body. The Prison Break tattoo idea was taken from this. Polynesian tattoos use particular designs and patterns of the kind that Cesc has, one of the distinguising features is that they have a lot of solid ink in the design, this makes them especially painful to get. The tattoo Cesc has… with it being on the elbow… would have hurt like hell.
If he scores 30 goals by the end of the season I’ll have I love Arsenal tattoo’d on my butt
That’s ok. I got it off the internet anyway.
Apparently a few barca stars have also been going to see that tatooist. Someone spotted that Bojan had one of his back. And Puyol apparently has one as well, and Henry as you have already said.
What is a polynesian tattoo?ooo. A good luck tatoo. Hmmm…so he magically heals by the end of this month, and scored thirty goals by the end of the season? XD Maybe I should go see the tattooist so that I can pass my exams
I think the tattoo looks nice.
I really do hope we get senderos back. I really liked him.
Congratultions Raul!
lol don’t quit your day job TA
Plu I’ve used part of your picture hope that’s ok
Senderos got a run on for AC Milan tonight so that was good but unfortunately they lost to Inter which has ruined my day.

They’re selling jackets not laxatives right?
I don’t think it’s gonna make a huge amount of diff that Villa lost today…pity they didn’t have the decency to do it in the league.
Nice tattoo work Cesc’s got there…thanks for the photo Plu
Hey Plu
I would say 99.9% it’s real. It’s a polynesian tattoo.
Rosie said about a week ago I think that Cesc might have gotten a tattoo but she wasn’t sure. They had an article in sport.es about a tattoist in Barcelona who did a tatt for Titi Henry and it was saying how he was a very famous tattoo artist and was popular with players who believe the tattoos can be good luck. They listed in the article a lot of his customers and said Cesc had been a recent customer. Rosie thought the CF was too old for the article to be talking about that… but she wasn’t 100% sure so she didn’t post it as news but now it looks like this must be the recent tattoo he had done.

A real tattoo or the temporary ones you can get?
So cute! Cescy is super model
) Is nice to see these Ad but miss seeing my captain on the pitch… soon I hope to see
ROTFLMAO!!!!!That has got to be the funniest shoot I have ever seen. Cesc’s poses lkileld me. Lol. The sticking the tongue out and winking was hillarious.
Villa lost?I thought they were playing tomorrow….
I don’t think that will dent their confidence. Martin O’neill has said their priority is the pl, and he probably won’t be that fussed, as long as Villa get a cl spot this year.
damn why couldn’t they lose in the league where it would help us! Still, look on the bright side maybe losing will dent their confidence… we can only hope heh.
cool stuff from Nike,,, though I don’t think I appreciate the vids as much as you gals do hee
Anyway Villa just got knocked out of the FA Cup by Everton,,, I’m not sure if thats good,,, bad,,, or of no importance,,, maybe a draw would have been best,,, then they could have had a replay and more fixtures might wear them out
I like what he has to say about family and also its a really great video =)
ooooooh hes lookin fiiiiiine!! XD
You’re welcome jas
