“Rejoicing in case of promotion? No, I’m not thinking about it at all, I’m just thinking about the match. At the final whistle, we’ll see“. The Como coach Osian Roberts in the press conference he doesn’t think about how to celebrate a Serie A that is very close, it will be enough to win in Modena, and he focuses on the match against the Emilians starting from the state of the team: “The general condition is good and there is an excellent spirit in the locker room . Cutrone is being monitored constantly and there is optimism for his recovery, if the match were today I would say it would be in doubt, but we still have two days and we’ll see. Many players have played a lot in this period, I have to make assessments in the next few hours by analyzing the data on their recovery. – continues the Welshman as reported Lariosport.it – Module? In the last two games, all the attackers were used. Verdi made himself more visible for the assist in Genoa and the goal against the Cittadella, but all the players used made a contribution. We need to evaluate above all based on recovery, Cutrone has also played a lot lately.”
Roberts then shifts attention to Modena: “The goal was to create a winning culture and a mentality that always led us to play to win. This was the input and the players gave the best possible response with humility, perseverance and professionalism. The effects have been seen and now the goal is to win in Modena too. It will not be an easy match, with opponents who still have an objective to achieve and you have to be careful not to relax because football has a nasty habit of kicking you in the teeth when you do. It is clear to everyone that we have not achieved anything yet and therefore we will need to exploit this mentality further. Promotion would be a fundamental step for this club’s ambitions. – Roberts continues, also speaking about working in tandem with Fabregas – We have different ways and backgrounds as well as being from two different generations, but everyone helps the team in the best way while remaining themselves. I try to be calm and analytical, he is more passionate and combining the two souls worked well.”
Finally, a thought for the fans: I have coached Wales and Morocco as well as Crystal Palace, a reality with passionate fans and those of Como also fall into this category. It was wonderful to have constant support and spectacular choreography. I know there’s a lot of work behind it, the fans are playing a role in this journey“.
