It's balance time for Martin Baturina, who finished his first season in Serie A with Como. The Croatian revealed, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, how he grew a lot throughout the season in our championship. The Champions League was a dream come true: "The group is special, the atmosphere was incredible, as was the spirit with which we faced everything." Playing in Europe will increase the difficulties, but it will allow Baturina to measure himself at a higher level, which, the player himself admits, "you work your whole life to achieve. I never want to take that for granted." Fabregas will not lower the bar, on the contrary, he will seek to take the team even further, allowing them to perhaps fight for the Scudetto one day. Finally, Baturina commented on his role model, who could not fail to be Luka Modric, like any other Croatian. In addition to talent, what impresses him about the midfielder, who is finishing his contract with Milan, is the continuity, experience, integrity and elegance he has always shown: "It's a great honor to see him up close, he's one of the greatest of all time and I feel very lucky to be able to share the field with him."
