Manchester City loanee Máximo Perrone and former Real Madrid talent Nico Paz are getting regular playing time under Cesc Fabregas at Como and contributed to a 3-2 win over Atalanta on Tuesday.

Como won their first Serie A match in 21 years last night, beating region rivals Atalanta 3-2 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.

The newly promoted Serie A side had only earned two points in the opening four league games.

“We prepared the game hoping to hurt one of the best teams in Europe. They are a Champions League team,” Fabregas told DAZN Tuesday night.

The Spanish tactician, a former midfield star for Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea, has given regular playing time to two promising talents signed over the summer. Both Perrone and Paz have made four appearances this season and have had an immediate impact at the Stadio Sinigaglia.

Perrone, on loan at Como from Manchester City, started in the last three games and was rated 7/10 by Gazzetta after last night’s win in Bergamo.

The pink paper noted that the 21-year-old made only ‘one mistake’, sparking a Charles De Ketelaere counter-attack, but the rest of his performance was made of ‘thoughtfulness and substance. Defence and counter-attack.’

Paz did even more in Bergamo, providing two assists against La Dea.

The 20-year-old joined Como on a permanent deal from Real Madrid last summer, but the Merengues have a 50% sell-on clause and a buy-back clause.

Nico Paz’s convincing performances have made him one of the top 10 Serie A players in the opening five rounds.
