Raphael Varane left his Como start 20 minutes early because he was hurt.

Varane was with Manchester United for three years before he left.

He joined Como, a team that was just promoted to Serie A and is coached by Cesc Fabregas, who used to play for Arsenal and Chelsea.

But Varane’s first game against Sampdoria was a disaster because he got hurt before halftime and had to leave the game.

Fans praised Fabregas for helping to get Varane for free.

And he said, “Raphael is a great player, and our desire to sign him shows how much we want this club to succeed.”

“He’s won a lot of awards, and the experience he has from playing in two of the best leagues in the world is huge.”

It makes me excited to work with him.

Varane also said, “I’m thrilled and happy about this new project. I can’t wait to get started and meet the team and my teammates.”

“There’s also getting in shape for the season to look forward to.

“At first, I was interested in learning more about the project. Then I saw right away that it was unique and different from any other I’d been given, so I wanted to learn more.”

“The project became more interesting as I learnt more about it. It changed my mind about what I wanted to do.”

“The project was quickly moved to the top of the list, and we were able to close the deal.”

“I’m glad. It’s really fun and there are lots of things to do. It’s really exciting for me to be able to share what I’ve learnt at the highest level and help a club grow so that it can possibly reach the top.

“I’ll be seeing Cesc again, but this time I won’t be taking on him.” I’m very happy because I love his sports passion and the way he plays the game.

“We could understand each other so well when we talked, so I hope things go well for us.”

“Anyway, I’m coming with a lot of humility to help the club and team grow.”
