For Parma when the championship resumes there will be an appointment with Atalanta and the Crusaders’ coach, Fabio Pecchiaspeak like this to Sky Sports in view of the match: “For us it is a test, every match is different and we must try to face it with our means, knowing that we have a very strong team up front and that will play for the title. What do I like about Gasperini? In the meantime, let’s see a coach who spends so much time on the bench in Italy is already a huge success. And then the fact of always seeing an attacking team, beautiful to look at, regardless of how they are on the pitch, the idea is always clear , although changing a lot during the years, the style has always remained the same. It is not for nothing that last year’s victory in the Europe League fulfilled the dream of a Club that has worked judiciously”.
The ranking. “Considering the few games played, the ranking is an absolutely relative value. However, the signal, in this part of the championship, is what we want to give: playing the games according to our style and obviously scoring as many points as possible because in the end it’s right play well but we also need to score points.’
Contract renewal. “For me the renewal was a great confirmation from the Club, the public, the people of Parma. Of course, it came at a particular time, but a good signal for everyone. Clearly I have to continue working, thinking about achieving results and win. It’s an exciting championship, as perhaps it has never been in recent years. The upper area is very competitive, as is the middle and lower area of the table. It’s a good sign that Italian football is launching I hope it continues like this, to see good matches, always open matches, where anything can happen. I think this is the best message to give.”
