Como secured an impressive 2-1 victory over Napoli on Sunday at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in the Italian league, producing a performance that demonstrated the team’s ability to handle major matches and achieve important results against strong opponents. ⚽🔥
The victory came through goals from Martin Baturina and Anastasios Douvikas, but head coach Cesc Fabregas revealed that the result was not simply a matter of luck, explaining that the experience he gained from previous matches helped him develop his ideas and read major games more effectively.
Fabregas Reveals the Secret Behind the Napoli Win
Fabregas praised the performance of Como’s players, emphasizing that the team entered the match with a clear plan and was able to execute it for long periods.
He explained that the previous meeting with Milan under Massimiliano Allegri was an important lesson for him, as he benefited from several details of that match when preparing for Napoli.
The Como coach confirmed that his team produced an excellent first half and succeeded in imposing its style while controlling many aspects of the game.
At the beginning of the second half, Como recognized the difficulty of the task, particularly against players with significant experience, but the team maintained its organization until the final whistle and secured a valuable victory. 🏆
Allegri’s Experience Made a Difference
Fabregas believes facing highly experienced coaches such as Allegri provides an opportunity to learn and develop, especially for a manager who is still building his tactical project.
He explained that analyzing previous matches is not only about the final result but also about the team’s movement, how it deals with pressure, exploits spaces and manages the match when the scenario changes on the pitch.
According to Fabregas, those details were reflected in Como’s performance against Napoli, as the team appeared calmer and more capable of handling the different phases of the match.
Fabregas Praises Luis Milla
The Como coach also discussed Spanish midfielder Luis Milla, stressing that the player does not receive the recognition he deserves in Spain despite continuing to improve.
Fabregas believes the large number of talented players in Spanish football means some names remain away from the spotlight, especially with constant media attention focused on players such as Pedri and Rodri.
He confirmed that he has followed Milla for a long time and witnessed the development of his career, believing that the midfielder deserves an opportunity to compete at a higher level and reach Champions League football.
The praise carries significant value for the player, particularly because it comes from a former Spanish international and a coach with extensive experience in European football. ⭐
Como Looking for a New Striker
Fabregas’ comments were not limited to the Napoli victory. He also revealed that the club wants to sign a new striker during the transfer window.
The move is driven by the crowded fixture schedule and the team’s need for multiple attacking options, particularly because Douvikas cannot be expected to carry the workload across every competition alone.
Fabregas explained that Como suffered from a lack of attacking options last season, making strengthening the forward line one of the club’s important priorities as the campaign continues.
A Victory That Raises Expectations
The win over Napoli represents a major boost for Como because it came away from home against a side with significant quality.
The result also confirms that the team does not want merely to participate, but instead aims to build a competitive identity capable of standing up to the biggest clubs in Italian football.
Fabregas now appears determined to use the result as a foundation for further development, while strengthening the squad with new players who can help the team cope with the demands of the upcoming fixtures.
✨ Como left Napoli’s stadium with an important victory, while Fabregas revealed that learning from major matches was one of the keys to success. Attention now turns to Luis Milla’s future and Como’s need for a new striker.
