Cesc Fàbregas was tasked with overseeing the project of Como 1907 on their promotion to Serie A.
The club made many transfers to strengthen its squad after promotion from Serie B last season, aiding its fight to stay in the league.
At the start of the season, it looked rough for them, but with some more January signings, the club is currently in 14th place with 25 points, sitting five points above relegation.
Nobody thought it would be easy— only Leicester City have been able to successfully return to the top flight after demotion.
So, FC Como are sitting around an area that was expected.
However, in Kurosh Moghtader’s tactical analysis, we will examine Cesc Fàbregas’s tactics and coaching style as he begins his managerial career.
RB Leipzig and VfL Wolfsburg met on Wednesday night at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.
Both sides went into the game motivated to reach a cup semifinal and needed a pick-me-up, as both were not in the best form in the Bundesliga.
Leipzig had won only two of their last nine league fixtures, while for Wolfsburg, it was just one win in seven going into this cup tie.
So the opportunity to put themselves on the cusp of a domestic cup final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin came as a welcome distraction for both outfits, particularly for the team led by Marco Rose who has been under pressure with Leipzig sitting outside the Champions League spots in the league in sixth, behind the likes of Freiburg and Mainz despite Leipzig’s vastly superior resources.
For Wolfsburg, who are only five points off from a top-four berth themselves, it was a chance to inch themselves closer to a first cup final appearance since their one and only DFB-Pokal triumph in 2015, when their side, spearheaded by one Kevin de Bruyne, disposed of Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the final in what was Jürgen Klopp’s final game as the manager of the Schwarzgelben.
At the end of Wednesday night’s match, Leipzig prevailed with the solitary goal coming from a Benjamin Šeško spot-kick, which was enough to send them into their fifth cup semi-final in seven Pokal editions.
In Edin Halilović’s tactical analysis, he will examine the mid-week battle between these sides and how Leipzig eventually managed to break down a resilient Wolfsburg defense to advance to the last four, albeit with the aid of a controversial call that went in their favor.
