Fabregas: ‘Both proud and angry with Como, Nico Paz learn from Dembele’

Fabregas: ‘Both proud and angry with Como, Nico Paz learn from Dembele’ Cesc Fabregas cannot decide if he is proud or angry after Como’s 0-0 draw with Napoli , but reveals the advice he gave to Nico Paz about learning from Ousmane Dembele. Fabregas continues to frustrate his former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, because they met three times this season and all of them were draws, with Como winning the penalty shoot-out in the Coppa Italia quarter-final. His side had the best earlier chances today with Amir Rrahmani clearing a Tasos Douvikas effort off the line, but late on Matteo Politano was denied by the upright in a goalless stalemate.

In my head, considering who we were a year and a half ago, I can say I am very proud. But then we tried to win today, we didn’t manage it, so in that sense I am angry,” Fabregas told DAZN Italia. “We tried to be very aggressive, to press Napoli, I saw the team I wanted to see, trying to win the game.

Nico Paz, Da Cunha, Perrone were fighting it out in midfield against Lobotka, De Bruyne and McTominay, so that’s something I cannot forget either. ” The other meeting back in November 2025 also ended 0-0, but in that game Vanja Milinkovic-Savic had parried an Alvaro Morata penalty.
