Como's Cesc Fabregas Regrets Late Game Strategy in Win

Cesc Fabregas, the head coach of Como, admitted to regretting his decision to instruct his players to ease off during the final minutes of their 4-1 win over Manchester United on October 22. The match took place at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, where Como dominated, with Nico Paz scoring two goals, and Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo Ramon contributing to the scoreline.

Fabregas noted that his directive to conserve energy for an upcoming match against Sassuolo may have led to United's late consolation goal by substitute Joshua Zirkzee. He accepted responsibility for this decision but commended his players for their intensity and commitment throughout the match.

Fabregas emphasized the victory as a significant step in creating a distinct identity and playing philosophy for Como, expressing pride in defeating a historically significant club like Manchester United, especially given Como's past struggles.
