“Parma needs no introduction because in addition to sport there is ham and Parmigiano Reggiano and many other excellent products, but being able to reach Europe and the world also thanks to sport, I believe it is an advantage for the city of Parma. We contributed as much as we could, and for us it is an additional reason for pride.” The captain speaks like this Enrico Delprato to the microphones of Sky Sports after the victory of the Serie B championship and the consequent promotion to the top flight: “I believe that, even compared to previous years when fewer people came to the stadium, the fact that this year we managed to give enthusiasm to the square is a source of pride for us, for the fans and for the city itself. – continues Delprato as reported Parmalive.com – The unity of purpose between us and the fans made the differencealready from last year’s home match against Cagliari where the fans remained in the corner even after the elimination to chant to be close to us, they transmitted enthusiasm and charisma to both us and them. This in my opinion was the best part of this year”.
“During the year, the coach also recalled the disappointment and bitterness that remained after the Cagliari match,” continues the defender, looking back at last year, “which I believe remained with everyone a bit, not only with us players but also with the square, given the nearby promotion to Serie A. For this reason this year we started again from that race, which was a charge that pushed us throughout the year. In the end she went in the best possible way.”
Finally, Delprato focuses on his role as raider in the final minutes of the matches in which Parma had to recover: “With Pisa, since it was the last seconds, I thought by now that it would be the last action, so I pushed forward and it went Well. With Brescia it was similar, not exactly in the last minutes, the strangest thing was Osorio’s assist because it’s something that I think you never see. As I said before, I pushed forward because they were the last actions of the match. Regardless, if one of my teammates had scored, it would still have been an incredible joy.. This year it happened to us several times that we won at the last minute and suffered, and they were all signs that this would be the right year. In every year it is important to know how to grasp these signals and make use of them. We were good and it went well several times.”
