Como has proven to be a club on the rise, consolidating its defense and gaining confidence for the next match against Inter. After the victory against Venezia, the Como team are preparing for a direct match with the second-placed team in Serie A, just two points away. Cesc Fabregas' team made the most of Da Cunha's penalty in the 43rd minute and showed impeccable management of the game, minimizing risks and optimizing the use of players.
Over the course of the season, Como achieved three narrow results, but the fourth consecutive victory in the national championship highlighted greater tactical awareness. Fabregas made skilful use of fuel, changing players with precision to keep all members of the group fit. The defence, previously considered weak at the start of the year, was revolutionized in the summer with the arrival of Couto, Kaiki and Trevoh Chalobah, although the latter had to deal with a physical problem in Florence.
Without Chalobah, Como entrusted the central role to Marc‑Oliver Kempf, who demonstrated stability and imperviousness from the first minute. With Kempf on the pitch, the team conceded just three goals in five league games, against teams such as Parma, Fiorentina, Sassuolo, Turin and Venezia. If we also consider the performances in the Champions League, the total of goals conceded remains at four, confirming the defensive solidity of the club.
Como, together with Lazio, have once again become the best rearguard in Serie A, with only eight goals conceded so far. This position was achieved through the combination of a well-defined defensive strategy and the ability to quickly adapt to the demands of the game. With the match against Inter scheduled, the Como team will have to maintain this consistency, taking advantage of their defensive strength to try to reduce their opponent's advantage and perhaps obtain a positive result at home.
