Last season, Parma's performance was inconsistent from week to week, experiencing ups and downs, even being relegated several times. Fortunately, they managed to qualify and stay in Serie A, which is normal for a promoted team. However, what was quite surprising was Como FC's performance. Not only did they manage to stay in Serie A, but as a promoted team, they also managed to finish in a fairly good position and enter the top 10 of the final standings. And with what they showed last season, they seem increasingly confident that they can compete in Serie A. So now, ahead of the 2025/26 season, they are continuing to work on deepening their squad and undertaking a major overhaul. In this summer's transfer window, Como FC has spent over €100 million on player purchases. Given their performance last season and the improvements they have made in this summer's transfer window, they could be a strong contender for the other big Serie A teams.
Talking about Como, they really impressed me last season and I was wondering were and how they were doing what they were doing, it's almost at the second half of the season that I even took more of them. The funny thing was that it took me almost the end of last season to know who was in charge of the team and it was from this Very thread that someone made mention of their coach and I was surprised.
After Cesc Fabregas managed to bring Como FC to finish in the top 10 of the final standings, he received several offers to move to other clubs, including an offer that came from the Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen. After Xabi Alonso left for Real Madrid, Leverkusen immediately targeted Cesc Fabregas as his replacement, because they considered Fabregas to have almost the same vision as Alonso. Cesc Fabregas' decision to stay with Como FC was a wise decision, it seems that Fabregas wants to prove something more with Como FC in Serie A. With several offers received by Fabregas to coach other clubs, this proves that he is indeed an extraordinary coach, he is the figure behind Como FC's success last season.
Inter Milan was a strong team last season and will remain strong this season, so it's certainly logical for Lookman to join Inter Milan and give his best to the team, showcasing his impressive performances and achieving good results for Inter Milan. However, the Serie A competition next season will still be quite intense, so every player will be required to perform consistently at a higher level. Because now, it won't be easy for any team to win the Serie A title unless their efforts and strength are above average compared to all other teams in general.
Inter Milan's biggest mistake last season was their failure to maintain consistency and manage their focus effectively, especially when faced with a demanding match schedule. And currently Inter Milan is under the care of their new coach, Cristian Chivu, and let's see how far Chivu will take Inter Milan this season.
