Cesc Fabregas non ha gradito la direzione di Abisso contro la Juventus

For the “beautiful and losing” Como the standings are becoming dangerous, but everyone is closing ranks around them Cesc Fabregas. The silence on Friday night at the Sinigaglia at the final whistle was unreal. Everyone was speechless in a packed stadium, after the defeat against Juventus for 2-1. No one protested out of respect for the team and the coach. The crowd didn't even have the strength to complain about the penalty not awarded by Abisso after a handball by the black and white defender Gatti, in the area, in an attempt to anticipate the new Larian striker Douvikas.

He did it though Fabregas, in the press conference following the end of the match: "They denied us a very clear penalty, Douvikas has a natural touch to carry the ball forward, Gatti touches it just enough to divert the trajectory and make it bounce on the chest of the attacker, who then cannot shoot on goal, because he loses control of the ball near the goal. It's the first time I protest against the referees or the Yes, it's not my habit, but there are starting to be too many episodes that have penalized Como this season. The referee was probably covered, but why didn't he go to the VAR to check? I'm not speaking for myself, but to defend Como, the city and all our fans who put passion and love into us".

The coach then focused on other elements that characterised the match. "Nico Paz? played a great match, they only lacked a goal, but their goalkeeper made some great saves. We lost but for 60 minutes we controlled the game, against a team that is the history of football".

The president also commented on the match on social media Mirwan Suwarso "Football can be cruel and we had another demonstration of that. We faced Juventus with our heads held high, played with courage, controlled the game for long stretches, and yet once again the result did not do justice to our performance. It is easy to be frustrated after similar outcomes against Milan and Atalanta, but it is not frustration that defines us, it is our belief. We are not here just to compete, we are here to win. Game after game, we are proving that we deserve this level, not only with our football, but with our mentality. Together we have built a group, a team, fans, a city. Our moment is coming. And when it comes, we will be ready. Together we resist. Together we grow. Semm Cumasch".
