Como 1907 - Official Website | Serie A

After scoring in the 2–0 win over Cagliari, which secured Como 1907 U17 team a place in the league play-offs with a game to spare, Achille Cauli is being called-up to Italy’s U16 squad for a double-header of friendlies against Denmark.

The 2010 born forward is enjoying a positive season. Having stepped up from the BiancoBlu’s U16 to the U17 team, he has also signed his first professional contract, and got his first call-ups to Italy’s youth national teams. Cauli’s growth perfectly reflects the work that Como 1907 aims to carry out with the young Italian talents within its academy, and he has once again been called up by coach Manuel Pasqual to join the U16 national team.

The Azzurrini will face Denmark’s U16 team in two friendly matches: first on Tuesday, April 21, at 20:30 at the “Torquato Bresciani” Municipal Stadium in Viareggio, and the second one on Friday, April 24, at 11:00 at the Olympic Training Center in Tirrenia.

Como 1907 will proudly follow Achille Cauli and wish him the very best as he represents the Italy Under-16 national team.

Good luck, Achille!

With the league match against Inter now behind them and a Coppa Italia clash against the Nerazzurri coming up next Tuesday, the BiancoBlu return to Serie A action with a trip to face Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium. Fabio Grosso’s side, currently 11th in the table, will come into the game after a narrow 2–1 away defeat to Genoa.

Sassuolo have shown themselves this season to be a proactive and well-balanced team, capable of competing with any opponent and picking up valuable results along the way, including a double win over Atalanta and away draws against Milan and Juventus. The hosts will be without Domenico Berardi, who is suspended following his red card against Genoa, but they still have plenty of attacking threat in Andrea Pinamonti and Armand Laurienté, as well as two of the standout young players of the season, Tarik Muharemović and Ismaël Koné, who scored last weekend at the Ferraris.

Friday’s match will be the third and final meeting between the two sides this season, after the BiancoBlu’s 3–0 and 2–0 wins at the Sinigaglia, first in the Coppa Italia in September, and then in Serie A in November.

Here are the words of Como 1907 head coach Cesc Fàbregas ahead of Sassuolo-Como:

“We're on a path of steady growth thanks to our players, our outstanding staff, and the intensity we bring to the field every day. We're building something that goes beyond immediate results, and the guys are responding in the right way. Let's keep it up and see how far we can go.”

“Today the team feels good, feels strong, regardless of the result. And it’s important to feel that way, especially for a young team. We have room for improvement on certain details that make the difference against top-tier teams and top players”

"Sassuolo is an excellent team that, compared to last season, has managed to improve further by building on an already solid foundation. In my opinion, they’re one of the teams playing the best soccer in Italy. They’re a proactive, modern side that’s enjoyable to watch even on TV, and they place great emphasis on ideas, movements, and making the most of their players’ individual qualities."

Sassuolo

Throughout the season, Fabio Grosso has consistently favoured a 4-3-3 formation with limited rotation and a well-defined hierarchy within the squad. In midfield, two key figures have been Nemanja Matić and Ismaël Koné, both signed during the summer transfer window. The Serbian midfielder has provided stability and experience for the Neroverdi, while Koné, who arrived from Marseille and operates as a wide midfielder, has offered a strong attacking threat, scoring six goals so far. The impact of 2003-born defender Tarik Muharemović has also been notable. In his first Serie A season, he has impressed with his composure in duels, his build-up play, and his strength in aerial battles.

Sassuolo currently sit ninth in Serie A for goals scored, 39. Grosso’s side have been particularly dangerous in attack, with Koné scoring six, Berardi seven, Pinamonti eight, and Laurienté five. Of those 39 goals, eight have come from corner situations, the third-highest total in Serie A, behind only Inter and Roma.

Left-back Josh Doig will also miss Friday’s match through suspension. Ulisses Garcia, who arrived from Marseille in January and has already scored against Cagliari, is expected to replace him. In Berardi’s absence, Cristian Volpato could be handed a start, the 2003-born winger is highly effective in one-on-one situations and creative in his link-up play. It will certainly be a challenging test for the BiancoBlu at the Mapei Stadium, against a well-organised side capable of causing problems for any opponent.

Previous encounters

Tonight’s match at Mapei Stadium will mark the first-ever meeting between the two teams at the Neroverdi’s home ground. The only previous encounters between the two sides were the two matches played this season at the Sinigaglia, which ended 3-0 in favor of the Biancoblù (in the Coppa Italia) and 2-0, again in favor of Como (in Serie A).
