The celebrated Spanish midfield maestro now turned manager, Cesc Fabregas, has thrown a sharp verbal counterpunch at his critics, insisting that the powers that be should first examine the salary cap at Como before they rush to pass judgment on his work in the Italian Serie A. Speaking after what he described as. �the most important and special season in the club. �s history. �, Fabregas made it abundantly clear that the lion. �s share of praise belongs to his squad. �s discipline and unity rather than any individual magic. In the scheme of things, Como have defied the odds to secure their top flight status, and Fabregas believes that without the financial muscle of the traditional giants, his team has given a good account of themselves on every pitch they have visited. At the end of the day, the former Barcelona and Chelsea stalwart argued that the club. �s wage structure is modest and that the players have worn their jerseys with uncommon pride. The Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with a move away from Napoli, will certainly admire the resilience Fabregas has instilled in his side; such a fighting spirit is what the Super Eagles talisman brings to the national team. For GoalZaza, this story is a reminder that in modern football, money does not always dictate heart. The reaction from fans at a busy viewing centre in Surulere, Lagos, would be one of animated agreement. Men in their Arsenal and Chelsea replica kits would nod vigorously, one elder declaring that Fabregas has spoken the truth and that the European clubs must respect the small ones. A young man in a Super Eagles jersey would shout that this is the same fire that made Nigeria proud at the Africa Cup of Nations. The air would be thick with the scent of suya and the sound of clinking bottles, as the debate over salaries vs. success rages well into the night.
