According to a commentary by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fàbregas has led Como to develop a distinct style with commitment and vision, making them a notable benchmark in Serie A.

The article suggests that Como's rise began with financial investment and clear planning, but what truly fostered the team's continuous growth was the unity of management, coaching staff, and team philosophy. Como not only wins but also plays an attractive style of football.

The commentary notes that Como and Fàbregas once faced skepticism. Some believed the club owners were wasting money unnecessarily, while others thought the team's playing style was too idealistic, prioritizing offense and neglecting defense. However, Como currently boasts the best defense in the league, and Fàbregas has consistently responded to external opinions in a clear and rational manner.

In the media's view, Como's game emphasizes collective movement, technical skill, and offensive initiative. The team links all phases of attack and defense, but always tries to press the game towards the opponent's goal.

The article contrasts Como's growth trajectory with Atalanta's: Atalanta first developed through professional expertise, then maintained its style with revenue; Como, on the other hand, started with funding and boardroom planning. The club has consistently pursued its plan with the same management and coach over a long period, gradually transitioning from financial investment to a distinct footballing style.

Referring to transfer investments, Fàbregas said: "Yes, Diarra was 19 at the time, had played fewer than 30 professional matches in La Liga, and we spent 12 million euros to sign him, but was that really a lot of money? What about the investments in Paz and Baturina? We need to clarify these things."

The article believes that Como's current squad value already exceeds its cost of formation, and there is further upside if some young players are sold. Paz and Fàbregas are currently still at Como, and the club's original 5-year goal has been achieved in two and a half years. Fàbregas stated that the team therefore had to adapt more quickly and make adjustments in some investments and choices.
