Como, Cesc Fabregas only half happy
Even though they snatched a 0-0 draw at the Maradona, the temple of Italian champions Napoli, Como coach Cesc Fabregas has several regrets: the Spaniard is convinced that the Larians could have won, all the more so with Morata’s missed penalty. Here are his words.
“I am happy up to a point, when you play like this you have to win, but still we took another step forward against a very strong Napoli side, which I like a lot. I watch a lot of Napoli games and I haven’t seen any team press them like we did today, we have a lot of 20-year-old players on the field and that has to be remarked.”
“People like to talk about the 100 million spent, but Jesus Rodriguez has not even done one year as a professional and he plays well with us, there are not many teams that do that and this is something that gives me great satisfaction. They excited me, this is the way and we have to continue like this”.
“We feel we are a team that is improving, but there’s still a lot to do to make progress, however, I know that when you are a young footballer there are a lot of ups but also downs, I did that as a young footballer too. But they give me so much and I push because they are open-minded and keep working harder and harder. For me it is a blessing, we are inside a long process”.
“Conte (his coach for two years at Chelsea, ed) is a very passionate coach, I must say that at Chelsea he did very different things and this shows that he is a coach who evolves, he is very fierce and always wants to grow. On the penalty taker, I have experienced so many personal episodes and I think the one who feels like it” should pull it.
