Como midfielder Cesc Fabregas is enjoying his time in Italy.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona star is winding down his career in Serie B.

Cesc told Sky Italia: “I had an old idea of Italian football because the coaches I had known had a defensive mentality, they never came to play the game or take the ball away from us. Spalletti and Sarri, however, have a different mentality.

“I remember one day, when we had to play against Roma, Emerson and Rudiger confided in me: 'Spalletti told us that even if we were pressed in our corner by two players, if we threw a long pass he would put us on the bench.

“So, I replied: 'This is my coach, this is the coach for me'. I've seen Sarri, experienced him and appreciated him, while Spalletti was told to me by others.

“As far as Luciano is concerned, now I have the opportunity, playing at Como, to see more closely what he is doing at Napoli, and I recognise that Italian football is growing in other aspects as well."

He added, “Of Como I like the project, seeing the coach, the team, all this gives me the fire inside. We were in Perugia, I enjoyed it, four days, 17 hours by bus, without playing, but I liked it, I'm with my teammates, I learn."
