Cesc Fabregas, the manager of Como in Italy, has publicly criticized his player Alvaro Morata for his recent lack of self-control, following Morata's sending-off during a crucial Serie A match against Fiorentina, which Como lost 2-1. Morata's expulsion occurred in the final minutes of the game when he received two yellow cards in quick succession due to altercations with Fiorentina's players. This incident not only affected the outcome of the match but also raised concerns about Morata's discipline on the field.

In a post-match interview, Fabregas expressed his disappointment, emphasizing that managing provocation is part of football and that players must learn to cope with it. He specifically mentioned Morata's experience, implying that given his background, he should have handled the on-field situation differently and not allowed external provocations to affect his performance. The coach's comments reflect a broader issue in sports regarding player behavior and the consequences of losing one's temper during critical moments.

Morata, who is on loan from AC Milan, has been under scrutiny for his performance statistics since joining Como. Given his high profile and experience, expectations for him are significantly higher, and incidents like these could jeopardize his standing both with the team and in his career. Fabregas's remarks serve as a warning to Morata, urging him to demonstrate better control and professionalism if he wishes to succeed in his role as a key player for Como and restore confidence in his abilities.
