Fabregas at the DAZN microphones: "Today we couldn't change the way we defend"

At the microphones of DAZN, before the kick-off of the match at San Siro, Fabregas explained the intentions of Como and the reasons behind his formation choices.

On the tactical front, the coach explained why this time the team from Lake Como would not change its defensive approach: “In the last games against Inter we changed the way we defend. Today we can’t do that, we only have two center-backs, we can only play this way.” He then assessed the value of the opponent: “The Nerazzurri are one of the few teams against whom we can think about changing: they are strong, they have great champions and they press high.”

Fabregas then outlined the goal for the evening: “We are trying to give continuity to this team that is doing well and we are trying to keep doing well with this dynamic.”

On the topic of the goalkeeper and the choice of Sanchez, the coach was brief: “When you believe so much in your team, it doesn’t matter who plays but the idea you want to carry forward. Everyone knows what to do, if I see someone who doesn’t know what to do I get worried because otherwise my message isn’t getting through.” He concluded by explaining the rotation criteria: “We know that dynamics have to be managed when there are many matches and there aren’t many explanations: whoever I think can give more goes on the field.”
