After the match between Como and Roma, which ended in a draw without goals, coach Cesc Fabregas spoke to DAZN, highlighting the importance of personality and patience in a match of this level. “Sometimes football is difficult to explain: two teams so proactive and seeing a 0-0 is strange,” Fabregas said. Malen's expulsion, which changed the pace of the match, did not alter his opinion on the value of the match.
The coach praised the performance of his players, especially in the first 60 minutes, defining that phase as the best of his management against Roma. "We had a good organization in eleven against eleven, but in the end there was a disappointment. We were unable to exploit the numerical superiority and the ball did not travel fast enough," he explained. Despite the team's young composition, Fabregas highlighted that they were not hit by counterattacks, a positive sign for the club's future.
Regarding tactical decisions, the coach commented on the choice to include Caqueret, stating that "some players deserve a chance". Caqueret was inserted from the first minute to build an attacking structure, despite not being part of the Champions League programme. “He trained very well and I had to put him on the field,” he added.
The most critical moment for Fabregas was the analysis of Inzaghi's management. "The team that hurt Gasperini the most is Simone Inzaghi's Inter. From there you start to reel off and study some aspects," he declared. This comment suggests that coach Comepiresa will learn from Inzaghi's strategies to improve his team.
With the match ending 0-0, Como is still in a phase of consolidation in Serie A. Fabregas closed his speech with the optimism that, if the team can maintain patience and manage their numerical superiority better, they will be able to obtain more positive results in the next matches. Como's next match will be decisive to evaluate whether the tactical changes and the inclusion of Caqueret will lead to a real improvement on the pitch.
