Sports weekend report cards

From 2010 world champion Spain, the team that changed the trajectory of continental sport, Francesc Fabregas Soler known as Cesc, born in 1987, a talent as great as his goodness of mind, the last to sit on the bench after Marchena, Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Arbeloa. And although that surname, at least in Europe, is an extraordinary passepartout for any first-tier coaching role, Cesc chose to start from the bottom, with the humility with which – as an enlightened midfielder – he drew Iniesta in the Holland area to Johannesburg: he will coach the spring of Como, the Serie B club where he arrived last year on a free transfer from Montecarlo, looking for a last hurrah and (above all) a villa with a lake view. The club appreciated his desire to pass the baton on to young players, together with an uncommon availability for a big name in world football. The cantera of Como after that of Masia, left at 16 to venture into the Premier League at the court of Wenger (and then in Barcelona and Chelsea). A greatness never heralded, at Cesc.
