Fabregas: We Expect a Wild Atmosphere in Lens

Como are making their away trip to Lens in their first Champions League season. The match will be played at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Wednesday at 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET).

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, Fabregas said there will be a wild atmosphere in Lens. Recalling that he had played there two or three times with Monaco, Fabregas said he felt the passion even during the warm-up. He said such nights are a valuable experience for his players and that they want these kind of matches.

The head coach stressed that although Lens look smaller than their opponents on paper, they should not be underestimated as the home side. Fabregas highlighted Florian Thauvin, whom he knows from his time at Marseille and Udinese, saying the player makes a difference, scores a lot of goals and is the reference point of the team.

Como won both of their home Champions League matches against Leipzig and Manchester United with 4 goals. They lost away at Feyenoord. Fabregas said they will decide how to prepare for the remaining four matches after the result, and for now they want to take it one match at a time.
