Cesc Fabregas has stated that Serie A is the priority for Como 1907 rather than the Champions League. This is evident in their recent performances, where they have shown a strong commitment to winning every game. However, Fabregas also acknowledged that the Champions League opener against RB Leipzig on Thursday may have influenced the choice of starting XI in their previous match. "We want to always try to win every game, but know that Serie A is the priority," Fabregas told DAZN Italia.
Fabregas also expressed his respect for Genoa coach Daniele De Rossi, who was a midfielder before taking up the coaching role. Fabregas praised De Rossi's mentality, which he believes is a key factor in his success as a coach. "Daniele was so tough, at times impossible to get past, as he was so intelligent as well as physically strong," explained Fabregas. "This mentality is why he had the career that he did, and I respect all these former players who fought for everything."
Como were very active in the summer, securing Moise Kean from Fiorentina and Robert Sanchez on loan from Chelsea. However, both players are currently on the bench, and it remains to be seen how they will contribute to the team's success in the future.
The next step for Como 1907 is their Champions League opener against RB Leipzig on Thursday.
