Como head coach Cesc Fabregas has urged his players to remain grounded and continue improving after their 2-1 victory over Napoli in the second round of the Italian championship.
The result gives Como four points from their opening two matches and lifts them to fourth place in the league table. Napoli, meanwhile, have three points and sit 12th.
Fabregas’ message after the match was clear: “We must remain humble and continue to grow.”
The Como manager’s comments followed a significant victory for his side, who secured all three points against Napoli in a closely contested second-round fixture. A 2-1 scoreline separated the teams at the final whistle, leaving Como above Napoli in the early standings.
For Como, the win represents an important addition to their points total. They now have four points after two matches, placing them fourth in the table. Napoli have collected three points and are currently 12th.
The positions remain part of an early league picture, but the result has given Como a strong start to the campaign. Fabregas, however, has emphasised the need for humility rather than allowing the victory to create complacency. His call to “continue to grow” also underlined the importance he places on further progress from the team.
Como’s success against Napoli was their first win of the championship campaign, following their opening result that left them with a total of four points after two rounds. Napoli’s tally of three points means they are below Como at this stage of the competition.
The match was decided by two goals to one, with Como taking the points and Napoli left to reflect on a defeat. The outcome has produced an early contrast between the clubs in the standings: Como occupy fourth place, while Napoli are 12th.
Fabregas’ response focused on the team’s attitude after the result rather than on the league positions alone. By stressing humility and continued development, he made clear that Como must maintain their progress beyond this victory.
For now, the numbers are favourable to Como. Four points have placed them in the top four after the second round, while Napoli’s three points leave them in the lower half of the table. The two clubs are separated by nine positions in the early standings.
Como will take confidence from the 2-1 result, but Fabregas has cautioned that the team must keep working and improving. Napoli, with three points, will be positioned 12th after the defeat.
The victory therefore has immediate consequences for both sides: Como move into fourth place, while Napoli remain 12th. Fabregas’ appeal for modesty and growth provides the clearest summary of Como’s position following the result. Their start has been positive, but the manager wants the team to treat the win as a step forward rather than an endpoint.
