Cesc Fabregas made sure to remind supporters that not many teams pick up three points when they have to play away in Udine after Como recorded a 1-1 draw against Udinese in their first Serie A match of the 2026-27 season: ‘Not many teams will win here’.
Hassane Kamara sent Udinese 1-0 up half an hour into today’s game at the Bluenergy Stadium, which Tasos Douvikas levelled out 10 minutes into the second half.
Fabregas reaction after Udinese 1-1 Como
Speaking to the DAZn in his post-match interview after full-time, Fabregas wanted to correct those who claimed that Como had a slow start to proceedings.
“I don’t think so, I don’t think you called that right,” he argued (via TMW). “We conceded the first corner after 21 minutes and up until that point, I thought we looked like a good team. Then, I thought it was a great second half, a good reaction, even if we conceded a few too many counter-attacks.
“In the end, we deserved the victory in my opinion. You will see, not many teams will win here.”
Fabregas didn’t take too kindly when asked for a verdict of his new signings after just one league match of the Serie A season.
“Well, come on, it takes a little while to settle when you go somewhere new. I liked all of their performances,” Fabregas said.
“The most important thing is that they pay attention. We have a young average age in this team, and then Liberali and a few other youngsters came on. I’m happy because it’s very difficult to win here in Udine.”
Fabregas was asked if he thinks his team needs a bit more time to find their feet at the top end of the Serie A table.
He replied: “We all need time. It’s true that we didn’t do well for 25 minutes of the first half, then it’s true that we conceded a few too many counter-attacks in the second half despite putting in a great performance.
“Small details, positioning, one choice can make you win or lose a game. We’ve come here three years in a row and haven’t ever won, but many other teams have done the same.”
Lastly, Fabregas was asked for a comment on Como’s transfer links to Italy international Moise Kean.
The Spaniard tried his best to play it down: “Of course I like him. I don’t want to talk about players from other teams, but as a player, definitely (I like him), as well as lots of other strong Fiorentina players.”
