“Conte has made me gain a year of experience”

Como 1907's Spanish coach Cesc Fabregas, who beat Napoli 2-1 on Sunday, commented after the match that his particular tactical clash with Italian Antonio Conte has “made him gain a year of experience”.

“We have to remember that we played against a great team who were leaders, who have an incredible coach who changed my schemes so many times during the game,” the coach gave to ‘DAZN’ after the match, remarking on the difficulty of beating Napoli.

“It has been winning a year of experience as a coach, he has made me sweat and work hard. I can only thank Antonio because this has made me raise my level. It may be the toughest game of my coaching career,” he added.

Como's victory came on a play built by Argentina's Nico Paz and finished by Spain's Assane Diao, the team's most in-form players.

“There is still a lot to do, they know that. We have to improve a lot, but with humility. I gave them two days off after the victory,” said Fabregas.
