The words released to the microphones of “Radio Anchi’io Sport” on “Rai Radio Uno” by the sporting director of Como Carloalberto Ludianalyze the company’s operations at three hundred and sixty degrees: between financial investments and exchange rates Longo-Fabregas on the bench who contributed to achieving direct promotion to Serie A which had been missing for over twenty years. The team’s roots are solid and the operational context in which Como finds itself gives us hope in view of the great return to Serie A, with Sinigaglia – defined as “one of the most beautiful stadiums in Europe” by the Como sporting director – which will return to host the big teams of the Italian top flight, bringing the football that counts back to the shores of Lake Como.
“The Hartono have shown solidity”
The Serie B book closed in a gripping manner and with many surprises, with the ‘promotion’ chapter only going to the archives on the last day. The protagonist of this story is the Hartonos’ Como, which re-embraces Serie A after over twenty years. The sporting director of Como retraces the recent past of the Como team at the end of a fabulous season: “The wealth of the Hartonos (Indonesian owners of Como, ed.) it manifested itself above all with solidity, not so much with incredible investments in the first years. In the last twenty years Como has had many negative vicissitudes. First the Hartono family, in a very visionary way, worked on the community before the technical side. And then, in the last eighteen months, he decided to invest in the team to aspire to the top flight, a category that we will defend with all our strength.”. On the Longo-Fabregas exchange: “It was a delicate moment to manage, especially with the players – explains Ludi – Moreno Longo worked very well, he took us over a year ago when we were in the slums of Serie B, he gave us solidity and identity. Then the owners wanted to make this change in November, because Fabregas’ mentality was more in line with their football model. In the end we were right. The promotion is a satisfaction to be shared with everyone, starting with Longo and those who have been with me for five years, giving credit to a team that has performed beyond expectations”.
