Cesc Fabregas And Como Close In On Champions League Qualification
Cesc Fabregas And Como Close In On Champions League Qualification Como are no longer a novelty story. Under Cesc Fàbregas, they are quickly becoming one of the most impressive and coherent sides in Serie A, and their 5-0 victory over Pisa only reinforced that growing belief. There is a clarity to everything Como do.
Their structure is obvious, their patterns of play are well drilled, and yet there is still enough freedom in the final third to allow their more expressive players to make decisive contributions. That balance is not easy to find, particularly for a manager still early in his coaching career, but Fàbregas has managed to instil it remarkably quickly. I attended their game against Pisa on Sunday, and they were impressive from the first minute to the last.
The tone was set early on as Assane Diao found the net inside seven minutes. It was a moment that carried weight, given how long he had gone without scoring, and many had given up backing him at the book makers, online casino , and prediction websites. But it was a key goal and it immediately gave Como control.
His contribution did not end there, as he later provided the assist for Anastasios Douvikas, whose finish made it 2-0 before halftime and continued what has been a hugely productive season in front of goal. There is a growing sense that this Como side know exactly when to accelerate. They are patient when required but clinical when opportunities present themselves.
Martin Baturina added a third shortly after the restart, effectively ending the contest and allowing Como to play with even greater confidence. Much of that confidence stems from the quality in midfield, where Nico Paz is showing himself to be one of the most exciting young players in European football. His goal in the 75th minute was taken with composure, but it was his overall performance that stood out.
