The Parma coach Fabio Pecchia at the end of the match against Lecce he commented on the draw to the microphones of DAZN: “A beautiful ending, a just reward for the boys. We played a great match from start to finish, despite going down. In performance, in quality, in many things we did well, great developments. I’m watching the goal again, a great emotion, I’m happy for the two protagonists, both Anas and Hainaut. Great satisfaction. A reward for the boys, a lively, vibrant match, held up until the end. A just reward”.
You didn’t give up and you believed. How happy does it make you to have been decisive with the changes?
“For a coach, the best thing is when the group and the guys who work manage to get some satisfaction. It’s never easy to stay on the sidelines and then give your contribution when called upon. I’m happy for the whole group, even for a rookie like Anas. Until a few months ago he was in Primavera 2, he’s playing in a role that isn’t his, we’ve been working on it for a few months. I’m really happy, we’re holding on to this point, this match must give us a lot. The path is clear, we want to play football on all pitches. Even two goals down we haven’t lost our essence, we’ve maintained our precise identity. In the end it’s a fair reward, even the goals came with good individual plays”.
Cancellieri’s is the third consecutive one, as he explains:
“Today was a very open game. I appreciate a striker who sprints backwards like that, head down to try not to concede a goal. I hugged him, I’m sorry because we will miss a player. Great spirit, he lowered his head and sprinted at an impressive speed, this is teamwork.”
A few words about Bonny’s performance? Is there room for improvement in terms of execution?
“Today there was an extraordinary save by Falcone. I see a boy who is constantly evolving. It’s the third year that we’ve worked together, he’s made great progress. He still has room for improvement but the great thing is that he works for the group.”
