Douvikas: ‘Fabregas helped me a lot, everyone should come and see Como’

Anastasios Douvikas has credited Cesc Fabregas and his staff for helping him become the player he is today, and says everyone should come and visit Como.

With quotes via Alfredo Pedullà, the Greek striker was speaking to Como’s official channels. He’s one of the standout players in the Lariani’s remarkable rise.

“I remember being very happy when I arrived here, because it’s a club with lots of ambition, a great staff and a great team,” Douvikas said. “I think I’ve achieved a lot, and it’s an incredible feeling.

“Fabregas? He’s helped me a lot, but the whole staff is fantastic. The coaches have helped me a lot to become the player I am now.”

Douvikas has flourished under Fabregas. He signed a new contract until 2031 in September, scored the winner at Napoli earlier this season, and hit a hat-trick in Como’s record-breaking 9-1 Champions League win at Lens.

Como are fifth in Serie A, despite last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Inter, and they’re enjoying their first Champions League campaign. Douvikas says the team’s success is also bringing visitors to the lakeside city.

“I love the city and the fans, and everyone should come and see Como. The team is also bringing lots of tourists. I love going for walks and finding good restaurants where I can enjoy the view of the lake.”
