Speaking at a press conference after the 1-1 draw against Bari, which earned his Parma Serie A, the ducal coach Fabio Pecchia spoke about the weight Catanzaro’s victory over Venezia had: “How much did it influence? I don’t know (laughs, ed.) We played three matches, first the one against Como, then the one against Venezia, it was a significant burden, the victory against Catanzaro made us more calm its flavor, the victories are always beautiful and leave many emotions inside. I think this one was beautiful, because ours is a twenty-four month journey.
It was more painful and demanding than the others. I wanted to hug everyone one at a time, they were great. Now it’s a great joy and we want to enjoy it, it all seems obvious but that’s not the case at all. I know perfectly well the pitfalls of this championship, there are no easy matches and even today we faced a Bari team that played a lot.” These are the statements from the Parma coach Fabio Pecchia taken entirely from the TuttoBari website.
