Cesc Fabregasassistant technician of How, from Milan Football Week: “We didn’t win the championship, it was the first objective. In the end we had a moment where it could be done, Parma were good at being continuous throughout the season. I’m proud of the route, something historic. The license in Italy? I did most of it in England, the last piece here in Italy. For me it is a great pleasure, many coaches like Fabio demonstrate their work. It is a huge pleasure to work here. In my way of working I put people around me to discuss things with, then I make the final decision. Involving everyone is fundamental, being a family. B series? It’s a tough championship, where the teams play in different ways. I always said that we had to be prepared to play in any way. We grew a lot over the course of the season, precisely in understanding how and what to change. My idea of football is to win, and therefore I want to make my players understand how to do it. We want to be protagonists, dominant, here in Italy a lot of people are starting to play 5-3-2, but we play more proactively. I’m happy because analyzing the last two months we always saw the same thing, that they studied us and analyzed us. The topic of young people is difficult. The coach is always the one who has to win, when he misses three games the criticism immediately comes. We don’t have a second team, I was in the spring at the beginning of the season. The step up to the first team is too big, the boys can get lost and never play. There is an incredible gap, now then there is the Under23, with Juve, Atalanta, Milan who will arrive. A young player must need to get the right experience. On Como project? The company is doing an incredible job, especially with the people of Como. We are a serious company, with serious ownership. We must work slowly, taking the right steps. The important thing is that they believe in you. Last year we didn’t even have the sports center up to par, this year we have already grown. We have the project for a new stadium, which will become one of the best in Europe. We always want to improve. The names of interest for the future? Let’s wait to see how the market goes. We don’t have money for booster players! We have to go slowly, doing the right and smart things. We want to be recognized in the world for how we play. We don’t take players just for marketing, the club knows me, even the director. I’m here for something else, then whatever happens happens but the objective is clear. I don’t miss anything about the football I play, this makes me say that I have chosen the future well. Who I liked in B? Definitely Catanzaro, for his courage and his idea of play. I was waiting for the match against them. Then Venezia, in my opinion the strongest team together with Parma. A fantastic season with a top-quality player. It was a difficult team to face. I don’t know who will win the European Championship. There’s a lot of quality, I’m sure. I’m looking forward to Italy-Spain, I think it will be a top match with two good coaches and great young players. I’m looking forward to it a lot.”
