The most important thing is Genoa, the next match, and we want to do everything we can to win. I think I&#8217;ll continue as Como&#8217;s coach: my experience as a player gives me peace of mind.&#8221; (via Standard)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>The comments come just hours after the Como president, Mirwan Suwarso, said he would not stop Fabregas from making the switch if the Spaniard was interested.

He said that the Blues are always going to be a big part of his life and said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s a difficult patch, for sure, and we as managers know that in those difficult patches, the consequences that can be. And I think we all have to be big enough to understand that. But as a football club, they\u2019re in a difficult patch.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They have a chance probably to be able to get something out of the season with the FA Cup and the league position, if they can make that better, but it\u2019s Chelsea\u2019s business.
