Cesc Fabregas reveals he changed Como specifically to target former Chelsea teammate Nemanja Matic in a 2-0 win over Sassuolo. ‘I underestimated his quality. Here’s what he told me…’
Como head coach Cesc Fabregas admitted he initially underestimated Sassuolo midfielder Nemanja Matic before adjusting his tactics to secure a 2-0 Serie A victory on October 24, 2026.
