Fabregas: Didn’t risk Perrone, Diao hungry for success | OneFootball

Cesc Fabregas, coach of the Larians, spoke at a press conference after the 3-1 victory over Verona. Here are his statements.

Como, Fabregas: “Perrone will be fine for Napoli, Diao can only improve by training”

The Spanish coach spoke to the microphones as follows, according to TMW:

On Diao

“Calm, that’s all I can say. I put him in to win, but then a very physical player needs a lot of time. I’m calm though, he has a hunger and a desire to succeed in football. Today was a tough match for him, difficult for his characteristics, but he can only improve by training.”

On Perrone

“Perrone was supposed to play, but he didn’t feel very well this morning and I didn’t want to risk it. I think he’ll be fine for Napoli. Yes, anyway, today we closed it late, Verona kept adding attackers and we switched to five at the back, then we closed out the match. Well done to everyone, now rest, eat and drink well to go to Napoli and play our game.”

On Caqueret

“He doesn’t let mistakes affect him? That’s important collectively. Obviously, some days this should happen because we’re a team that plays out from the back, that plays in a different way. It’s another way of seeing football, of playing football. Today we made a mistake in a play where we didn’t read the right movement well, but that’s what I ask for. It’s not Caqueret’s mistake, it’s not anyone’s mistake, it’s my mistake because this is our mentality. What I like most is what you said: we make mistakes, we’ll make more, but we have to keep going with this because today’s win gives us more identity.”

On the defense and on Nico Paz

“Against Genoa and Cremonese, we conceded two goals while we were down to ten men, which is always a bit more difficult. I think this is a detail that needs to be explained because it’s very important. On the magic of Nico Paz, it depends. If we talk about magic as only goals and assists, I’ve seen quality details even in midfield. Today, with the rain, the pitch was wetter. I understand that those who haven’t played in these conditions struggle to understand the difficulty, because it’s very different when the ball is wet, it comes at you faster than usual. Doing what he does is very difficult. I thank all my players because today was a very tough win and we keep growing.”
