Como coach Cesc Fabregas spoke at a press conference before his team take on Lazio on Thursday for the tenth matchday of Serie A.
THE ANALYSIS – “I’m not sad about the defeat in Turin, but I am a little angry. I am increasingly convinced that Como is proving to be worth more than its 9 points. Many statistics confirm this: we are the second team that concedes fewer chances, after Juve. And I can mention others: second for counterattack effectiveness, third for opportunities created thanks to high pressing. This gives me so much confidence. We made some mistakes on the goals we conceded, perhaps more due to lack of conviction than obvious errors. Do we score few goals? True, but there were also nine conclusions in Turin: credit must also be given to the goalkeepers.”
LAZIO – “We face a strong team, in Italy and Europe, with high-level players: there is a lot of work behind us. It will be a great test, to understand where we are at, but also to understand the choices to make for the next close matches.” DEFEAT AGAINST TURIN – “I don’t think like that: the point is not Braunoder’s mistake, but the reaction to the mistake. And he trained very well. Mistakes are part of football, we aim to improve to fight to the end even against the strongest teams.”
