Sassuolo, Grosso: "Como has important qualities, I have great respect for Fabregas"

The Sassuolo coach spoke to the club’s official microphones at a press conference on the eve of the match against Como. Here are his statements, as reported by tmw:

On Como

“You introduced it well because it will be a tough match against a strong opponent who is showcasing their qualities. With just a few days, we are trying to prepare for an appointment that requires a high level, staying in the game, but also having the courage to remain in the match. We are going to face a team that has clear ideas and I congratulate them. They are on an accelerated path, partly because they have been able to invest a lot of resources, but that’s superficial; they know what they want, they have the courage to believe in it, and they carry their ideas forward. We have to be good at playing many matches within the same game, we’ll have to know how to resist, stay within the difficulties, and then try to come out with courage and determination. Filling this match will be the first objective.”

On Fabregas

“We don’t know each other but I have great respect and admiration because he is showing important qualities, supported by a club that is also proving to have significant qualities.”

On Pisa

“There are many feelings within the match. A game that, 30 seconds from the end, you are losing, you manage to come back and draw, taking 2 points away from your opponent is a positive aspect; the less positive aspect is having had a good chance. After a soporific first half, we had a good second half, we had many chances to take the lead and if we had managed to do so, we would be talking about something else. Within the match, you have to analyze many moments and the team had the strength at the end to come back and it wasn’t easy.”

On Fadera

“In the last two matches, Fadera has played. After a first match in Bergamo where we did well, it seemed quite logical to give him continuity, even if we can’t know if it was the right choice. I like to alternate, I like to involve the players, sometimes I’ve managed to do so, sometimes I thought it wasn’t the case, but from time to time I try to make the choices that are the most right.”

On Volpato

“It’s an interesting consideration, even during training we have tried some players in different positions. He can easily play on the left as well, but I like to put players at ease, often he has played on the center-right or in the central position, we will understand who will be the best players for the matches to come.”

On Nico Paz

“I have paid many compliments to Como because there are important qualities, supported by a very clear idea that is being carried forward. Focusing on one player means losing sight of the other guys because this is a team that plays as a group, that loves to prevail over their opponent, and brings great rhythm and intensity. We know we are facing a tough match, we will try to raise our level because if we are not good at doing so, it will be difficult to come away with a positive result. It’s no coincidence that I hear people say that in a few months he might try to go to a different team (Real Madrid, editor’s note). He is one of the strong players of this team. Many young players supported by some less young who are important in management. This is a well-built team, with quality, with significant investments. They have just returned to Serie A but objectives and paths are different, this does not mean that we will not go there to play the match we can play.”
