During the press conference for Friday evening’s match against Sassuolo, Como coach Cesc Fabregas also reflected on the comeback defeat his team suffered against Inter in the previous league fixture.
The former Barcelona and Arsenal midfielder acknowledged Inter’s formidable attacking prowess, specifically highlighting the effectiveness of their crosses. Fabregas suggested that the presence of a defender like Antonio Rudiger might have made a difference in mitigating Inter’s aerial threat.
He stated, «Inter’s crosses are incredibly strong. Perhaps if Rudiger were in defense, it might have been different…» This hypothetical scenario underscores Fabregas’s tactical thinking and his recognition of specific player attributes that can influence game outcomes.
Fabregas’s comments offer a glimpse into his analytical approach to the game, even in defeat, and his respect for the strengths of opposing teams like Inter.
