Cesc Fabregas is experiencing a moment of euphoria at Como, and it’s no wonder! Following an impressive 5-0 victory over Pisa, the Italian team not only shone on the field but also distanced itself from Juventus in the race for a spot in the Champions League. Fabregas, who has been a key pillar in midfield, expressed his growing affection for the city and the young team he represents. “It’s hard not to fall in love,” said the Spanish international, who sees a bright future for Como.
In Sunday’s clash, the Como team delivered a stunning performance, with goals from Assane Diao, Anastasios Douvikas, Martin Baturina, Nico Paz, and Maxi Perrone securing a convincing victory. With this result, Como climbed to fourth place in Serie A, three points ahead of Juventus in fifth, while sixth-placed Roma was set to play later. The triumph not only solidified Como’s position but also provided a significant morale boost to the team.
Fabregas, who spoke to DAZN after the match, did not hide his emotion, stating that the victory held special significance, particularly in honor of the club’s late co-owner, Michael Bambang Hartono, who passed away last week. “Today was an important victory because we lost a significant person in the world of Como. We send a big hug to the Hartono family. It is thanks to them that we can all live like this. Today’s victory is even more important in this context,” the player stated.
He also expressed surprise at the magnitude of the result. “In the days leading up to this, we told ourselves that this would be a difficult game. We attacked well into the space for the first two goals. The team was smart, and this represents another experience for their growth,” commented Fabregas, who is now looking forward to the international break so his team can rest and prepare for the upcoming challenges.
The atmosphere in Como is palpable, and Fabregas did not hesitate to share his joy at the support from the fans. “We felt a beautiful atmosphere, the fans are happy. We all want more, but we are enjoying the journey. Six or seven years ago, we were a provincial team in Serie D, now we are making real progress,” he said.
The former Barcelona and Arsenal player also expressed concern for the condition of Jesus Rodriguez, who had to leave due to a knee injury. “He took two knocks, one at the beginning and another after 25 minutes. He couldn’t continue. He is an explosive player and that affects him a lot. It’s a shame because it was a game suited to his characteristics. But that’s football, and we have to look ahead,” Fabregas concluded.
With the team establishing itself as an emerging force in Serie A, Como is making history, and Cesc Fabregas’s passion for the club and the city seems to be growing with each match. The future looks promising, and fans can expect an exciting battle for glory in the Champions League!
