Como head coach Cesc Fabregas expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance following their impressive 4-1 victory over Udinese. In a post-match press conference, Fabregas highlighted the team’s growth and ability to create opportunities.
“This team creates, this team does well,” Fabregas began. “The start of the match wasn’t great, but then the boys grew into it. The team managed everything well, and in ten against ten, they were perfect. I ask the boys to continue, continue, and continue. They listened to me and did well. This is our identity: we played and managed the game as we want, this is our idea. Today we saw the quality of the boys, we also scored goals. I see a strong Como, today the ball also went in. Everything changes with goals. Today I’ll say Como is very strong: I say we must continue to grow and improve.”
Fabregas went on to praise Assane Diao, who scored for the second consecutive match. “He’s a young, strong, and powerful boy. Today, for the first time, I also used him as a true striker in the finale. He did very well, having a player like him and Fadera is important. He attacks the depth, helps the team a lot.”
The coach also commented on Nico Paz’s return to the field. “He needs to continue, he’s still a child in many ways. I try to help him grow mentally, he needs to improve like all the young players we have. He did well today, I think he can have a second part of the season at his best. The important thing is that he’s back on the field, now he needs to grow mentally as I said before. I’m happy with him and the other young players we have: they did well today.”
Fabregas then addressed the team’s absences and provided updates on several players. “Gabrielloni had a calf strain, he’ll be out for a couple of weeks. Mazzitelli is on the market, he has asked to be transferred. Van Der Brempt had a flexor strain and preferred to come off in the first half. Baselli and Sala will leave Como, Konè had a fever and didn’t train yesterday.”
