Spanish coach Cesc Fàbregas, who led Como 1907 to a 2-1 victory over Napoli on Sunday, admitted that facing Italian manager Antonio Conte in a tactical battle made him "gain a year of experience."

"He made me sweat and work hard"

"Today, I gained a year of experience as a coach. He made me sweat and work so much. I can only thank Antonio because this helped me raise my level. This might be the toughest match of my coaching career," he added.

Como 1907 secured the win thanks to a play orchestrated by Argentine Nico Paz and finished by Spanish forward Assane Diao, two of the team’s standout players.

"There’s still a lot to improve, and they know it. We have to keep working hard but with humility. I gave them two days off after the victory," concluded Fàbregas.
