As a coach, Fabregas discussed his team's preparation at the pre-match press conference ahead of Como's Champions League match against Leipzig.

Como will play their first Champions League match in the club's history. Facing this historic moment, Fabregas said: "I know tomorrow everyone will talk about 'Como's first Champions League match in history', but for me, it's just another match that we need to win."

Fabregas stated he would not prepare a special speech for this match: "I'm not the type of person who prepares speeches; everything I say comes from the heart. If I prepare beforehand, I might say something wrong. It's better to say little from the heart than to say a lot and make mistakes."

At the start of the press conference, Fabregas first sent his support to Como women's footballer Roberta Pigli, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer: "First, I want to send strength to our player Roberta Pigli. We are one big family, let's give her a big hug, we will always be by her side."

When discussing player selection, Fabregas said: "For me, experience doesn't matter. Yesterday, some players who have played hundreds of Champions League matches also made mistakes and lost the ball. The right candidates are those who can help the team get closer to victory. I might still need to make a decision two minutes before the final meeting. We no longer have just 13 or 14 key players; now nobody knows if they will play tomorrow, because everyone is performing well and can help the team."

Regarding Como's style of play in the Champions League, Fabregas said: "Can we play our best football in European competitions? I don't know, but this is our first Champions League match anyway. We can only guess how the match will unfold. I watched three or four matches yesterday and have some ideas about what might happen. We have our own football philosophy and can't deviate too much just because it's a different competition. We focus on ourselves first, then study each match and prepare in detail. Most importantly, no matter what happens, the players must play our way, which requires them to truly understand the game. We must stick to our style in every match."

Speaking about Leipzig and coach Martín Demichelis, Fabregas said: "Leipzig is a fantastic club, and they've proven it over many years. Twenty years ago, they built their culture almost from scratch. We can learn a lot from them, and they're doing very well. I know Martín Demichelis, and I know many people at the club; they're all excellent and very professional. I'm not surprised by their achievements. Tomorrow will be a very difficult match."

Fabregas hopes the players will not be affected by emotions: "I hope the players enter the match with the mindset that they can win, just like the team has done since I arrived from Serie B. Our responsibility is to do our best in every match, and the best outcome is victory, which must be our mentality. I hope the team treats this as a normal football match and puts emotions aside for today. We need to focus on the present and not think about the future. Throughout the season, Serie A may offer more, but tomorrow Leipzig will be here; they're very strong and used to this competitive environment."

Speaking about his Champions League experience as a player, Fabregas said: "That experience made me realize how quickly time passes. I can't even remember my last Champions League match; it feels like 50 years have gone by. There are many high-level players in European competitions, and if you make a mistake, your opponent can make you pay. We must understand each phase of the match and maintain the hunger to progress and win."
