Fabregas: Sassuolo âput on a masterclass, we werenât even at 10%â
Cesc Fabregas says that Fabio Grosso âput on a masterclassâ but warns that Como âwerenât even at 10%â after his side fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sassuolo on Friday evening.
There was a rapid influx of goals at the end of the first half at the Mapei Stadium, as Cristian Volpato and MâBala Nzola struck within two minutes of each other to send the hosts 2-0 up. Nico Paz halved the deficit in first-half injury time, but that was as far as the comeback went.
Todayâs result leaves Como two points behind Juventus in the Champions League positions, now having played one game more.

âThis isnât the normal Sassuolo, who defend the whole game and then massacre you on the counterattack. There was an incredible density of players. We tried every way to get through but today wasnât our day. We didnât have the quality.
âThe second goal was the most disappointing thing. Weâre not this sort of team. We have to accept it and continue to prepare better if we want to get to certain levels.
âEvery game is different. We try to be as complete as possible. Today we werenât even at 10%. Bad for us, but congratulations to Sassuolo. Letâs think about the next game and prepare well.â
