TMW Radio
Carlalberto Ludisporting director of Como, was a guest of Maracanain the afternoon of TMW Radio.
Gabrielloni’s first goal is a great football story:
“It was a fantastic emotion. Anyone who has lived with him for six years now knows that he is an extraordinary man, an intelligent player and every time the level rises he finds a way to be functional. And then he embodies what we want It’s not a fairy tale, because they are something incomprehensible, instead he is someone who works hard and deserves all this. It will remain something important for his life, but also for us. It’s a dream.”
Dele Alli was at the stadium yesterday. Are you really interested?
“In ideal conditions, everyone is interested. We have excellent relations with the agent, we can create something interesting but we can’t know yet. A few weeks must pass, including getting to know each other, and then we’ll see the best decision. A percentage? It’s premature. We will spend a period of training and getting to know each other, but Fabregas really likes it.”
What are Como’s ambitions?
“Save ourselves for now, the rankings speak clearly. Then we’ll see.”
But you have an ambitious coach. Besides Dele Alli, will there be any intervention on the transfer market in January?
“We will go to work, not to overturn. It would be absurd to start from scratch. The ambition belongs to everyone, we are aiming for salvation because we are realistic but we are not taking anything away from our ambition”.
Who surprised you the most about the new additions?
“Nico Paz is a pure talent, he always makes himself available to the team. Cito Kempf, who had the ability to fit in straight away, is a silent leader and integrated more quickly than we expected.”
Has anyone ever moved on Paz?
“No, that I know of directly. But there’s no chance he’ll leave in January.”
More surprised by Como or Roma yesterday?
“I was hoping to have a great match, we had the feeling that Ranieri was finding the key but that everything wasn’t completely resolved yet. Then we hoped that the cup match had taken away some energy. We had to approach it like a final, also given the victory of Verona before us”.
What is Fabregas’ best quality?
“He is very innovative, modern as a coach. He has a very clear idea of his game, he manages to effectively convey his message to the players.”
Is the Como inspired by a specific model?
“No, we have to develop our model. We want to create our own modern identity, which has its roots in our past. Then there are virtuous examples like Atalanta to follow, but we want to follow our own path.”
