Third consecutive defeat avoided in full recovery for the Parma: from 92′ to 95′ Pecchia’s team straightens out a cursed match that saw them at a disadvantage of two goals despite at least five clear chances. However, it is also worth noting the third expulsion in the last three games and two more injuries in midfield. Lecce he must complain about at least three counterattacks wasted in an unfortunate way at the end, when a hat-trick would have definitely killed the match.
Pecchia’s words
“I don’t see a mental block, the team played well even in the first half. We made a mistake in the last pass, it was a beautiful match. This is a reward for all the guys, it’s like a victory, we never fell apart. Their goalkeeper made some miraculous saves and we were good at believing in it. The two protagonists are a debutant and Hainaut who has made a few appearances in Serie A. On Sunday we were winning 2-0 and then we lost, today we came back. Today we played for 95 minutes, last game instead we dropped off in the second half. The idea must not change, we must work like this, facing the matches with the same identity to play well. Considering the age you need to have the right lightness”.
The newcomers are the main protagonists
In Parma’s crazy ending, the big protagonists are the new arrivals: Almqvist resolves a melee in the penalty area in the 93rd minute with a left-footed shot that closes the gap and two minutes later a perfect cross from Haj (born in 2005, today his debut in Serie A and among the professionals) finds Hainaut at the far post. A crazy header and 2-2, which leaves Via del Mare speechless.
