Discover Como With Alex Valle and Jesús Rodríguez as They Take a Classic Fiat for a Lakeside Spin

Como 1907 is becoming a club people watch for football and stay for everything around it. The lake. The light. The way a matchday can look like a postcard without trying. Now Como TV has started capturing that wider world with a series that feels like a guided walk through the club’s new identity. Players as hosts. The city as a set. And conversations that drift into places you do not get to reach after ninety minutes. 

The latest Discover Como episode begins in the most familiar place. Training. Alex Valle looks into the camera and tells the truth that every player knows but rarely says on record. “That was tough training, I wasn’t expecting that.” It sets the tone. This is not a glossy tourism reel. It is a day continuing after work.

The hook arrives on four wheels. A 1979 Fiat 124 Spider offered up like a small piece of Italian cinema. The premise is simple. Put two teammates in a classic convertible. Give them the lake road. Let them talk. Let them laugh. Let the city do the rest.

Como does exactly that. The soundtrack is the engine and the water. The conversation shifts between teasing and reflection and the episode keeps its best line for the moment the car settles into the pace of the shoreline. “Como is very calm. Calm down. Enjoy it, you’re at the lake.” It is a joke and also a summary of the club’s new appeal. People are travelling here for football but they leave remembering how it felt.

At Villa Flori the day slows again and the chat turns to the bigger question of life between Spain and Italy. Valle speaks like someone who has lived the comparison and knows there is no perfect answer. “Every place is special, man. Every place gives you different things.” Then he lands on the part that matters. “Here within what fits is that I’m very happy. An hour from Barcelona by plane. The lake is beautiful. We live right next to it. Everything is just very nice.”

They talk football briefly but the episode is not trying to turn itself into a tactics board. It is more about culture and comfort and what you notice when you stop rushing. Still the contrast is clear. “Here it’s more physical, more one on one.” In Spain it is “more tactical, more positional.” Different demands. Different rhythms.

What makes the video work is that it is not really about the car. It is about connection. Teammates becoming friends. A club that feels like a community. A place that welcomes people in.

When the conversation turns to supporters Valle and Rodríguez do not reach for clichés. They describe something specific. Intimate. “The support you feel for such a small stadium is very welcoming.”

This is the side of Como that travels. Not just the results or the names on the team sheet. The setting. The closeness. The warmth. A small stadium with a big echo. A squad that looks like it enjoys the city it plays for.
