Six goals, four assists, the last yesterday to Diaz who then scored and brought Napoli to its knees. A splendid haul for a 20-year-old kid, in his first major season in the pros even though he grew up at Real Madrid. Nico Paz enjoys the good moment with his feet on the ground, without any exaltation: “I am happy, I want to do well for the team. I have not set myself any goals this season. What comes is fine, the important thing is to grow both personally and as a team….” 20 years old yes, but clear ideas and a lot of humility.
And the rumors that have been swirling for months, with many clubs interested in the Argentine boy from Como, do not seem to faze him much. He confirms this at the end of the match, candid-candid: “I am still very young – Nico explains – and I don’t want to think about anything else right now but Como. I want to try to get our goal (salvation ed) as soon as possible, with as many points as possible. I want to think about improving match after match, this is my only thought. In Como I am very well, I have my family close: I am happy and I want to continue like this together with my teammates.”
Como on Sunday in Rome will be without its leader Cesc Fabregas. The coach, who was cautioned for protests yesterday, was on a warning and will not be on the bench at the Olimpico. He will be replaced by his deputy. “The important thing is the mentality,” says Cesc, “not who goes on the bench. We do the important work during the week, then on Sunday it has to be finalized. But whoever goes in my place is capable of doing well, even the maid from our sports center could go. Yes because,” he concludes, “we are a group, a family.”
