Cesc FabregasComo coach, spoke today in a press conference, as reported by LE-News, starting right from the last match of the next opponent, Atalanta: “I didn’t support Arsenal, I currently support Como. My life is all about Como at the moment. I went to watch the match, which was very interesting to get some ideas. Both teams have mechanisms that work by heart. We will have to be very smart and on the ball to take the three points”.
About the team: “We are fine, Barba is starting to return to the group and I think he will be available from the next match. Ali Jasim will be on the bench. Dossena is fine, he had a bit of cramp against Bologna. Formation? We will go with our ideas to Bergamo, we certainly will not play 5-4-1 hoping for a counterattack, that is not a mentality that belongs to me”.
Belotti Chapter: “We can play with two or one striker, we have to continue on both ways. When we took Belotti we thought we wanted to be more incisive in the area, more concrete. At the same time, when you play with two strikers we might not have the stability that we would have with an extra midfielder. On Saturday we were very solid, we dropped a bit at the end but I liked the defensive phase. Belotti is fine, we choose the best profile from game to game. On Monday Andrea and Patrick could play together. In midfield maybe we can change something. I really liked the performance of Sergi Roberto and Perrone, they are comfortable and play with tranquility. We have six midfielders and we believe in each of them. Players like Braunöder and Da Cunha, who have given us so much, have to get used to a higher step, which is Serie A”.
