Parma, Pecchia and too many goals conceded: “The two against Napoli ruin the statistics”

Fabio Pecchiacoach of Parmaspoke in the press conference after the 3-2 defeat against Cagliari, talking about the 12 goals conceded in 6 days: “Napoli’s two goals affect the numbers and ruin the statistics. Today’s one weighs a lot, we were a solid team Beyond the quality play of Gaetano and Piccoli, we had to do something better.”

Are the goals conceded starting to become too many?
“We also create a lot, we score a lot of goals. We definitely have to correct something. I liked the team a lot in the second half. We were behind but we didn’t concede immediately. Then you lose your attention for a moment and the strong players punish you.”

Was the defensive phase missing? Has the midfield filtered little?
“They went in on the first goal, more attention was needed there. We need to insist, stay on track, in moments of tension drop we always concede goals. We create a lot, scoring is not easy. I can’t say anything to the team about Marin’s goal, it’s a great goal. But in other moments we had drops. For the rest I liked the team.”

He spoke of too many defensive inattentions.
“I wasn’t talking about defensive lapses, in the goal there was too much desire to go and look for the third goal, we paid dearly for it.”
