The Spaniard, who has not been a first choice player under Antonio Conte, believes the beautiful game is more about players who can run for 90 minutes.
"Today it's more difficult for the more talented players to succeed," he told Chelsea TV.
"I don't think my physical abilities are the best – I'm not the quickest, I'm not the strongest, I'm not the sharpest, so you have to be ahead of the game if a player like me wants to succeed in football.
"To be a football player today... if you are very strong or you run a lot or stuff like that it's easier. That's why I try to get even better because football is growing in a way that before I don't think it was.
"Every day you see less talent and more power and players running around."
Fabregas has been criticised in the past for his lack of pace and worth ethic, and this season at the Blues, he has been back-up for N'Golo and Nemanja Matic.
