There is an air of derby and for coach Fabregas’ Como on Saturday at the Brianteo stadi0o will be an opportunity to make a double gift to their fans. The team is well and during the week everyone has worked at their best and they are ready for this match with the knowledge that the Brianzoli this year, despite being in last place in the standings, have always given a hard time to the opposing teams starting with the “big ones.” Coach Cesc Fabregas has clear ideas about the attitude that the boys will have to have on the field against the biancorossi coached by coach Nesta, here are his words in today’s press conference:.
“It’s a derby, an important game, and we want to win. I think Monza collected fewer points than they deserved. It will not be an easy match , on the contrary. We have to be careful, have the right attitude and pay a lot of attention to preventives, only in this way can we win. Nesta is a coach with great vision and I like him, Bianco is a very strong player for me.”
Da Cunha appeared a bit down against Empoli compared to the match against Milan.
“I wouldn’t say that, all games are different and he is player who is growing in an incredible way we have to remember that he is playing as a midfielder for only four months and he is in his first season in Serie A. We have to be careful and we can’t think that he can always be 100 percent and it’s the same for me as well that I’m a coach. We have to grow and learn especially from mistakes and always improve.”
There will be no Larian fans in Monza.
“We will miss them, their support is important. Unfortunately, it has already happened another time that they could not come but also this morning they were in Mozzate to make us feel their closeness. I thank them because we always know and feel them by our side.”
Everyone available?
“Ivan Azon will be missing, he is fatigued and not available. All the treble are available and can play. Van Der Brempt worked very well during the week but we have to be cautious.”
How is Sergi Roberto doing?
“In the last five months he has played very little and needs to get back into the right rhythm and I’m counting a lot on him. We are a team with a lot of young players who have arrived and will arrive because this is the path we want to follow and that is precisely why you always have to have two or three players with experience. We are very lucky that Sergi and Pepe Reina are here with us, with their quality, humility, work culture, seriousness.”
Douvikas scored against Empoli and Nico Paz has served his disqualification, what attack will we see in Monza?
“Tasos deserves an ‘opportunity soon, we’ll see. Nico is an important player for us, he can play between the lines and is essential in the last third of the field and that is something we lacked last Saturday. He is working a lot and I have a lot of confidence in him, I know him very well since he was in Spain and he is growing a lot both with the group and as a mentality and attitude. He is a player who can do very well in Italy because of his way of playing and his characteristics.”
After the match against Empoli, he said more humility was needed.
“We always keep in mind that our goal is salvation. It’s good to have ambition but it should not be boundless, that’s why I talked about humility. When I see that in the last ten minutes of the first half and last ten minutes of the second half a team that is not well structured, with Goldaniga going to try to score goals leaving one on one in front of Games without a fair quote is not good. Yes I like that having desire to win however you have to be very careful otherwise it can happen like with Venezia that you get a point in the end. You have to keep your feet firmly on the ground and during the week I showed the video to the guys explaining to them why I say this. I always like to speak clearly both with you journalists and with them in the locker room.”
At what point is the team’s growth?
“We are still at 20.25 percent and can grow knowing that salvation is the most important thing for this season.”
