Como midfielder, Maxence Caqueret, expressed satisfaction with the team's performance in the victory against Sassuolo, commenting on his performance and the importance of the new Greek signing, Giannis Douvikas, during an interview with DAZN.
After the match, Caqueret said he had "done well" and was happy to contribute to the group, especially in the Champions League. The player acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining control of the ball at a crucial moment, but underlined that, thanks to his determination, he managed to make a decisive assist. “At the start of the match the coach asked me to play the role of a 10, but in the second half I played on the left, where the coach wants me to press,” he explained, highlighting the tactical flexibility required by the coach.
Caqueret also talked about Douvikas, who scored two goals in the match. "It's incredible for me, he's scored two more goals. He always watches the ball, it's important for us to play with him," he said, underlining the new midfielder's positive impact on the team. The Como coach has already confirmed the presence of Caqueret in the Champions League list, replacing Jesus Rodriguez, and highlighted the race against time to finalize the change in the UEFA list.
Como spent 40 million euros on the purchase of Moise Kean, but the presence of Douvikas seems to have increased the competitiveness of the midfield. Caqueret reiterated his willingness to play in the Champions League and his desire to contribute to the club's success, while the coach expressed confidence in Caqueret's role as "a 10" on the pitch.
With the Champions League in sight, Como will have to continue to consolidate their squad, taking advantage of new acquisitions and maintaining the cohesion of the group. Caqueret, with his international experience, seems ready to lead the team in this crucial phase, while Douvikas is already considered a key element for next season.
