Como midfielder Maxence Caqueret expressed his satisfaction after the 2‑0 win against Sassuolo during the press conference held on Sunday. The French player underlined how important it was for him to have been included in the list of players for the Champions League, a step which he had previously left very disappointed.
Caqueret recalled his state of mind when, before his last call-up, he felt excluded from the European squad. “I was very sad not to be able to play in the Champions League,” he said, adding that the manager's decision to include him changed his point of view. “The coach told me directly that I am an important player and he demonstrated this to me by making me play in the championship,” he explained, highlighting the trust placed in him.
The midfielder then spoke about his versatile role within the team. “I normally play more centrally, but I am ready to play any position the coach asks me to play,” he said, underlining his desire to contribute to the best of his ability. He also expressed gratitude for the assistance he received from Fabregas, who played a key role in his inclusion. “Fabregas has always spoken about me publicly,” he added, acknowledging the Spanish veteran's influence.
During the match against Sassuolo, Caqueret had the opportunity to make a decisive assist, contributing to Como's victory. The player reiterated his commitment to both the Champions League and Serie A, stating that he wants to give his best for the team. “I'm very happy to play and help the team,” he said, showing a positive attitude towards future challenges.
Finally, Caqueret mentioned his desire to represent the French national team. “The dream is distant but it is achievable,” he declared, underlining that his main objective remains to best express his abilities on the pitch. With the season still underway, the Como midfielder will remain at the center of attention for both league matches and European competitions, where he will continue to demonstrate his value and tactical flexibility.
