Cesc Fabregas on the state of Como when he took over:
🗣 “They gave me a group of lads. I couldn’t sign anyone. We had three defenders, seven midfielders and 11 strikers or something like this. I had to invent. I was playing with two No 10s as full-backs.
The team played 5-4-1, a lot of counter-attacks and defended very deep. I couldn’t change everything straight away in the middle of the season.
So I preferred to change the defensive phase more than the offensive side. We went to a back four instead of a back five, zonal, not so much man-to-man and a little bit higher.”
