Fabregas: Pleased but only to a point, big step for Como | OneFootball

Como holds back Napoli led by Antonio Conte at the Maradona. The team from Como delivered an excellent performance, repeatedly risking taking the lead: the biggest chance was Morata's penalty, which was saved by the ever-reliable Milinkovic-Savic. An important point brought home by Cesc Fabregas' boys, who analyzed the match at the end with Dazn's microphones.

Fabregas' words at the end of Napoli-Como

The Spanish coach spoke to Dazn's microphones to analyze the match at the Maradona, which ended goalless with an excellent performance by the Como team. The chance from the penalty spot was wasted by Alvaro Morata, with his shot blocked by the wall that is Milinkovic-Savic, saving his second consecutive penalty. These are the words of Cesc Fabregas.

“I'm happy to a certain extent; when you play like this, you have to win, but we took another step forward against a very strong team that I really like. I watch a lot of Napoli's matches and I haven't seen any team press them like we did, we had many 20-year-old players and this needs to be highlighted. People like to talk about the 100 million spent, but Jesus Rodriguez hasn't even played a year as a professional. Not many teams do this, and it gives me great satisfaction. They moved me, this is the path and we must continue like this.”

On the team's feelings

“We feel like a team that is improving, but there is still a lot to do: when you are young, there are many ups and downs, but they give me so much. I push them because they are open-minded and continue to work more and more. For me, it's a blessing; we are in a long process.”

The effect of challenging Conte

“He is a very passionate coach, at Chelsea he did very different things: he is a coach who evolves, very fierce and always wants to grow, beyond the result for the imprint he gives to his teams.”

On the penalty taker

“I really like organization, but regarding the penalty taker, I have experienced many personal episodes and I think it should be taken by whoever feels up to it.”
