The former Arsenal captain told his club’s website; “I think it has come naturally.
“We all see football the same way as each other, but we don't play the same way.
The midfield partnership between Fabregas and Nemanja Matic has been lauded and advanced as the main reason for their recent successes.
“For me and Nemanja, it is basically the same job. The only difference is that, in certain moments of the game, I go a little further forward than him and he covers when I do.
I think the coach likes for both midfielders to give stability to the team and that we are always there to give a solution to the players when they have the ball.”
Matic has won 40 balls for his team while Fabregas has provided 11 assists in the EPL this season.
“It's an important position because you always need to be aware of what is happening around you both in terms of defending and attacking. Right now we are feeling solid in this aspect of the game."
Fabregas then added that all the Chelsea forwards like Willian, Oscar, Andre Schurrle and Eden Hazard think about the game in the same way though they might have different characteristics.
“For example Eden sees football the same way as Oscar, as Willian, as Andre, as me, but we don't play the same way. Eden is a dribbler – he sees the pass, he sees our intentions.
“Me, I'm not the quickest, but I like to pass the ball around and they move very well for me to pass them the ball," he said.
“Oscar is very intelligent in the way he plays the No. 10 role, how he moves, and he also likes to play one-twos, to come short, then go long, because he has good vision."
“Andre goes behind defenders very, very well and Willian is quick on his feet and technically very good.
We all like the same style, but we have different qualities, and I think that's why we all connect as well as we do,” he added.
Chelsea travel to the Britannia Stadium next Monday to take on Stoke City, looking to maintain their three-point lead on the table.
