"AC Milan will make the short trip to take on Como tonight, with Massimiliano Allegri facing off against Cesc Fabregas, his opposite number in more ways than one. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write, the fixture list in the end decided that Como and Milan would face each other twice in just over a month. The first meeting was postponed because of the Supercoppa Italiana, and the reverse will be moved because of the Winter Olympic Games."
"Fabregas and Allegri were, at different levels, two quality players. By the end of their careers, they were already thinking like coaches. Fabregas, in January 2023: "I've been thinking for a while that I'll be able to coach in the future. Maybe at Como in Serie A." Self-fulfilling prophecies. The plots of their coming-of-age stories, however, are different. Fabregas took over Como in Serie B in November 2023 and a few months later was in Serie A, while Allegri has worked his way up:"
AC Milan will travel to Como tonight with Milan needing a win to close the gap on Inter and potentially Napoli after recent results. The two clubs meet twice in just over a month because the first fixture was postponed for the Supercoppa Italiana and the reverse will be moved for the Winter Olympic Games. Como aim to show they can stand up to top teams at home. Cesc Fabregas prioritizes possession and counter-pressing, posting 73% possession in Pisa and 75% in Cagliari. Massimiliano Allegri prefers a pragmatic, utilitarian 'corto muso' style. Fabregas rose rapidly from Serie B to Serie A; Allegri progressed through several lower-league clubs.
