Como head coach Cesc Fabregas addressed the media ahead of his team’s upcoming match against Hellas Verona, reflecting on their recent victory against Atalanta in Bergamo and discussing the challenges ahead.
Fabregas began by acknowledging the strength of their next opponents: “Verona is a strong and experienced team accustomed to playing in Serie A.” He then praised his players for their performance in Bergamo, stating, “The boys put in a great performance against a top team. In the days since, we’ve tried to maintain high mental focus.”
The Spanish coach emphasized the importance of the upcoming fixture: “Sunday won’t be easy against Verona. They are very fast and have balance on the field. For us, it’s a crucial challenge, and to bring home the three points, we’ll need to perform at our best.”
Addressing the short recovery time since the Bergamo trip, Fabregas provided an update on player availability: “Barba won’t be available, he’ll probably return against Napoli. Cerri, who had a problem last week, might return after the league break.”
Fabregas also highlighted the significance of recent arrivals to the squad: “Van der Brempt is a player we rely on, and he’s very important. Sergi Roberto is gradually integrating and improving. He’s also an important player who brings experience to the group.”
