Cesc Fabregas, Como coachspeaks into the microphones of Sky Sport after his team’s heavy defeat at home against Lazio, victorious at Sinigaglia 5-1: “It’s a heavy defeat, we have to work. We know that it’s difficult to play against teams that have more history: in the first half we didn’t press well , they put in a lot of quality and we lacked this. We also made a lot of mistakes at the back, then we entered the second half with more courage and put Lazio in difficulty when coming out from behind. We then had many opportunities to score goals from the back too ‘1-3. I’m a bit disappointed by the lack of malice in the duels: with all due respect, Castellanos can’t win against Dossena and on the third goal the ball must go to the goalkeeper. We have to be humble, we are Como and if we don’t change It will be difficult.”
The Spanish coach continues: “Forced choices in midfield? There are problems, I had these available but I certainly can’t send the message that they are poor or that they are walking. I have to give confidence: there has been a step back but the team has to get used to play this match.”
And finally: “What if I fear that this ranking might take away my courage? It’s my job, I have to make sure it doesn’t happen. I’m paid for this, that’s it.”
Then, to the microphones of Dazn, Fabregas reiterates: “Castellanos made the difference on Dossena, as did Audero’s reading of Pedro’s conclusion. In the second half we found the goal but we cannot make these mistakes in front of goal. The result is heavy but the team was unbalanced: until 3 -1 we weren’t bad, we need to continue to grow. The final deficit doesn’t worry me any more than it should.”
