Beyond the pitch, the coach publicly reaffirmed a deep personal commitment to Como, emphasizing a unique connection with the club and its supporters.
Como coach provided a team update ahead of upcoming matches, outlining the current player availability and expressing his deep commitment to the club. The coach reported that Diao is still working his way back to full fitness, currently focused on running and strength training. Morata is progressing well in his recovery, while Goldaniga has already returned to the pitch. Addai, however, remains a bit further from a return to action.
“Diao is not ready, he has started running and is in the gym. Morata is doing better, Goldaniga is already back on the field, Addai still needs a little time… For the next games, we are who we are. We are few, and everyone is involved,” the coach stated. Como currently finds themselves in a tightly contested league, where every player’s availability is crucial.
The coach also reiterated his affection for the team and the city of Como, emphasizing a connection that goes beyond a professional relationship. “I am in love with everything, with the club and with Como, because things are very different here. I won’t be going to Suwarso for a new contract or anything else, I do this with my heart. It’s a precious, beautiful thing,” he said.
He highlighted the strong relationship with the fans, noting a positive connection despite not actively seeking out discussions. “There’s a beautiful interaction with the fans, even if I don’t go to talk to them. Although I am always open. But I am very calm about this. There aren’t employees who just come to work at Como. There are people who have left their families to come here. It’s all here,” the coach added, underscoring the dedication and sacrifice within the team and organization. This level of commitment could prove vital as Como navigates a challenging stretch of games.
