On August 20th, in the first round of Serie A, newly promoted Como were defeated 0-3 by Juventus. Como manager Cesc Fabregas said after the match that the team would bounce back, but also admitted that aiming for the Champions League was unrealistic.
Despite the 0-3 defeat in the first round, Como manager Cesc Fabregas was not without confidence: “I need to review the game and see what else we need to do. Last season, we also lost 0-3 to Palermo, but we quickly bounced back and became one of the best teams in Serie B and were promoted successfully.”
Fabregas talked about the team’s shortcomings on the field: “When we regained possession, we didn’t use the passes to create counter-attacking opportunities, while our opponents did a good job, and we couldn’t restrict Ildız on the field. In terms of individual ability, we have a gap with Juventus.”
Fabregas said that the high goals set by the outside world for the team were unrealistic: “Anyone who thinks we can qualify for the Champions League is a little delusional. We know ourselves, we need to improve step by step, and this will take a long time.”
Fabregas mentioned the gap between Como and the Serie A giants: “We didn’t get the result we wanted, this game shows that we have a big gap with the Serie A giants, we still need to improve further. After successfully entering Serie A, we know what kind of squad we need, we won’t bring in players who don’t fit the team’s style. If we want to play open football, we can’t concede goals easily like today’s game, we still need to stay calm and patient.”
