After the home loss to Atalanta comes an away match to be taken with a grain of salt for the lineup led by coach Cesc Fabregas.On Saturday evening, the Biancoblu will take the field at the Dall’Ara to face coach Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna, fresh from the draw with Sporting in the Champions League. The first leg match at the Sinigaglia is a memory that still hurts the Larian lineup as, after being ahead by two goals, they were caught up by the Rossoblù right at the end of the match. The two teams have changed faces in recent months and expectations are high on both sides. Here are the words of coach Fabregas in the usual press conference to introduce the match starting with the absentees: “Bologna will be missing Kempf, Van der Brempt, who could be there with Juve, Gabrielloni and Alberto Moreno who has a flexor problem, it will take two or three weeks, and also Sergi Roberto. In defense obviously we have a lot of problems and we have to manage the situation one way or another, space for Felipe Jack who can play as a fullback or center back and Engelhardt on the right as a fullback is training with Iovine in that position. He is a fast and dynamic player who still needs to grow and will be an important player for Como.”
The Rossoblù in the league have been on a positive streak for four rounds and are intent on continuing on this path…..
“Bologna is a strong and fearsome team that has played the Champions League and plays a soccer made of pressing even more than Atalanta. On our part we will have to be brave and good at managing the ball with continuity.”
Is there any market news?
“For this game there will be no one new. This is a difficult market and there is little missing, you can’t always get the players you would like. It is likely that between today and tomorrow some new players may arrive but also regarding Ikoné and Valle I am not saying anything until it is official, in case they sign before that they could be there already in Bologna.”
Against Atalanta, Como played with an unprecedented offensive set-up.
“It was an option I had been considering for some time, and it seemed like the right opportunity against Atalanta to better manage the situation between the lines, and for an hour everything went well. I think we could propose this lineup again in the future.”
The future with Como, here’s what the Como coach thinks…..
“I am very happy to be here. When Gattuso had left I remember that the fans had said ‘One of us’ and I would like the same for myself. Right now Como is 95 percent of my life, here I started with Primavera and then promotion to Serie A. I hope to have the time to grow the team and stay years at Como.”
