Luis Milla arrived at Como for the sum of 6 million euros paid by Getafe, confirming Gianluca Fabregas' choice to invest in a high-level playmaker. The 32-year-old Spaniard, known for his ability in free kicks and precision in penalties, immediately proved to be an added value for the Juventus club's midfield. With 10 assists in 37 appearances in Spain, Milla placed himself in second place in the top league's assist-man rankings, only behind Lamine Yamal.
Despite the presence of Maxi Perrone, also a talented midfielder, Milla quickly established himself as a key element of the team. He started the season as a starter immediately, demonstrating a refined technique and an ability to read the game that made him indispensable even in moments of pressure. In 12 matches between the championship and the Champions League, he played 728 minutes, demonstrating a constant presence and a significant contribution to Como's offensive dynamic.
Fabregas praised Milla's attitude on and off the pitch, highlighting her daily commitment and positive influence within the group. This assessment is also reflected in tactical decisions: during the match against Torino, the coach preferred to replace Perrone before recalling Milla to the bench, highlighting his trust in the newcomer. Milla's career, which spanned clubs such as Alcorcon, Guijuelo, Tenerife, Granada and Getafe, was marked by difficult moments, including a torn ACL at 19 and numerous rejections from top-flight clubs. However, his resilience and desire to win have brought him to a level of performance that now makes him a mainstay for Como.
Milla's presence also influenced the deployment of other key players. Maxi Perrone saw his playing time reduced, with just two minutes less than the previous year, while the midfield had to adapt to new dynamics due to recent injuries to other members of the squad. In this context, Fabregas chose to give more space to Milla, while he continued to favor the Frenchman Da Cunha for his offensive performances.
With the season still underway, Como benefits from a more solid and creative midfield thanks to Milla. His ability to create chances and manage the pace of the game makes him a point of reference for the team. The next step will be to see if this combination of talent and experience can translate into concrete results, both in Serie A and in European competitions.
