Empoli vs Como: Live Match

Como faces Empoli, currently 2 points ahead in the standings. The Lariani are coming from a home defeat against Lazio and coach Cesc Fabregas has charged his players with a clear message:

“We have suffered a heavy defeat and I want a demonstration of pride. In Tuscany we are facing a delicate challenge. I expect a reaction, we must win.”

Como’s Challenges

Fabregas warns that Empoli is an aggressive and dynamic team, capable of bringing many players into attack. However, the Spanish coach has to deal with a reduced squad in midfield, due to suspensions and injuries:

  • Disqualified: Braunoder
  • Injured: Perrone, Sergi Roberto, Baselli “We’ll see in the next few hours if anyone manages to recover,” Fabregas says, “but we’re not looking for alibis.”

Upcoming Engagements

After the match against Empoli, Como will face Genoa on Thursday. Fabregas underlines:

“Close games can be a problem athletically, but they give you the opportunity to bounce back quickly.” Currently, Como has obtained only 1 draw in 4 games and is only one point away from the safety zone. The coach asks his players to show more nastiness and aggression to:

  • Avoid conceding goals
  • Making yourself dangerous in attack “We have to play as a team,” Fabregas urges. “Help your teammate, put in determination and the right mentality.” With these words of encouragement, Como is ready to face the challenge against Empoli with the aim of changing the fate of their season.
