The coach’s words: “Tomorrow it will be important for everyone to work towards victory, aware that they, thanks also to the mentality brought by Ranieri, have structured themselves very well and are more organized.”

Tomorrow, Roma faces off against Como at Giuseppe Sinigaglia for a chance to clinch their third consecutive victory after victories over Lecce and Braga. Cesc Fabregas, the coach of the Lombardy team, spoke briefly in a press conference on the eve of the match against the Giallorossi. Below are his words:

“We always want to win but we know well that Roma is a very strong team, stronger than us even when it comes to individual talent and this will be an extra incentive for us to do well and fight with all our energy. We need to be cohesive and pay a lot of attention to the defensive phase, we have to be calm in possession and ball control without letting nerves get the better of us and play with our usual mentality. It is also crucial to utilize every area in the field and effectively use the sidelines to seek and seize the precise moment to infiltrate and pose a threat in the zone. All of this is necessary to make the difference, but it’s certain that the critical point is the defensive phase. “Tomorrow, it will be crucial for everyone to work towards the victory, aware that they, thanks to the mindset brought by coach Ranieri, have structured themselves very well and are more organized. They defend well and have improved the phase of the game with the ball.”

Could there be variations compared to the usual one-point module?

“I have decided on the module but not yet who will play because we have a problem on the left wing, as practically no one is available, besides Moreno, Sala is also not available. “We still have a training session to focus on a few things before deciding between Iovine and Barba,” was the reply given.

Had the decisions about the other players been made yet? “In goal, it’s very likely that we’ll see Pepe Reina returning, while in the midfield we have to choose between Da Cunha, Mazzitelli, and Engelhardt. It’s also important to know that Sergi Roberto will be playing.” How is the former Barcelona player doing after a month and half off the field? “Sergi Roberto is coming back but not from the start. The medical staff believes that he can play 20/25 minutes while against Inter he might be able to do 60 minutes. Gradually, he will be ready to step in and play a full match,”.
