Cesc Fabregas, the cerebral midfielder now plying his trade with Como and a former World Cup winner with Spain, has firmly declared that football is a moving beast and any team that hopes to claim the lion. �s share of glory must fast adapt. In an exclusive chat with GoalZaza, the 37 year old tactician insisted that the modern game demands constant evolution and that Napoli, under their current stewardship, must go all out for victory in their upcoming Serie A encounter. According to Fabregas, the days of static formations and predictable patterns are long gone. He stressed that the powers that be in Italian football have embraced a new tempo and that teams like Napoli, who boast the formidable Nigerian international Victor Osimhen in their ranks, cannot afford to rest on past laurels. At the end of the day, he argued, the side that reads the game. �s rhythm and adjusts on the pitch will seize the spoils. For the Super Eagles talisman Osimhen, this endorsement from a man who once pulled the strings at Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea is a ringing vote of confidence. Fabregas noted that the striker. �s clinical finishing and relentless movement make him a stalwart asset in Napoli. �s quest for continental respect. He added that the entire squad must give a good account of themselves, especially against a resilient opponent that will test their defensive mettle. In the scheme of things, Fabregas. �s words carry heavy weight because he has seen the game transform from the tiki taka era to the high pressing, transitional chaos of today. He advised the Napoli camp to study new angles, drill new patterns, and keep their boots laced tight because the pitch does not forgive those who fall behind. For the fans who throng the viewing centres in Surulere or the packed halls in Abuja, this is the kind of seasoned wisdom that sets the pulse racing. As they crowd around the giant screens, jostling for a good view and clutching their cold drinks, they will nod in agreement with Fabregas. When Osimhen charges at the defence and the ball hits the back of the net, the roar will be loud enough to shake the rafters and the talk will flow long after the final whistle, all because football never stands still and neither should the warriors who play it.
