Fabregas charges Como for Parma: "Maintain stability after the victory in the Champions League"

Como-Parma LIVE on the pitch on Monday at 6.30pm

THE EVE

Leaving behind the euphoria of the first Champions League victory and focusing on the championship. Cesc Fabregas is thinking above all about this in view of the match against Parma at Sinigaglia. "What did I say to the team? The usual things, understanding well that what happened the other evening gives us a special charge and unique emotions. Which must be directed in the right way - explains the coach -, immediately focusing on the championship and on this match. We will have a team up front that perhaps expects us to be a little tired, so we will have to be careful. But I see that the boys have already trained well in recent days".

And also for this reason the lineup to be sent on the field tomorrow will probably not differ much from the one used in these first outings of the season: "It's difficult to change someone who is so good and continues to feel good." The praise showered on Como in these last hours certainly doesn't make someone like him lose his balance. "I like stability, which must always be maintained, in good moments and in bad ones - he observes -. I understand that what we have done could cause more media hype, but in the end we won three matches. There is no need to get too excited. I am very happy but also very calm".

And Fabregas also thinks about what he hasn't yet managed to do, leaving the pitch with a clean sheet, which was Como's specialty last year. "The demonstration that there is always something to improve, even if I am still satisfied with our defense. And with the reaction the team has always had when conceding a goal." The positive attention is especially on two players who were somewhat missed at Como last year. Diao, returning from a difficult season, and Baturina, who only began to appear in the second part of the championship. The first comes from a difficult year, with a long injury, but "now he has found peace and continuity, he is performing as he had never managed to do, it is also normal for a young boy like him".

Baturina, concludes Fabregas, "has done incredible things with Leipzig, he comes from a very good World Cup in which he also scored, and it seems to me he has the right mentality to remain humble". Now, for both "we expect to understand if they will always be able to remain at these levels".
