Fabregas: ‘Not many teams will win in Udine, we haven’t won for three years’

Fabregas: ‘Not many teams will win in Udine, we haven’t won for three years’ 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. You can see how the action from all of Saturday’s Serie A matches unfolded on the Football Italia Liveblog.

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.

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.”
