The Ducali’s manager after the knockout with Roma: “The events are about losing the players. It spins like this, but I see the boys working daily and there is extreme trust in the group.”

Parma fell at home against Roma with a score of 1-0. The decision was made by a beautiful goal from Soulé in the first half of a match that was obviously influenced by the inferiority of the Ducals, which was evident after half an hour: The Ducals remain third from the bottom. Post-match comments were made by Fabio Pecchia:

PECCHIA ON SKY SPORT

The team is performing, but is imprecise: is this due to their young age? “The fact that we are young is no longer news, nor should it be an excuse. “We must focus on the game, we are a lively team, eager for action. There’s little more to add.” Do players naturally keep up or do they need encouragement by showing them the leaderboard? “I have a deeply intimate relationship with the group. I have seen them all grow, I know their emotions and how they are experiencing the moment. But they need it, for their professionalism and growth. They must speed up this training journey, the matches must be played and points need to be scored. Even last year, there were questions about whether the team could handle the pressure of playing to win, and they managed it remarkably well. Now, they face the challenge of managing a different kind of pressure. “I’m not talking about incidents or misfortune, I see a team that’s alive, very much alive.” Coming to Djuric and the solutions for his injury. “We’ve picked up a player and lost him for the entire season. He was an alternative, another way to develop the game.” “It’s part of my expertise to find solutions. I also need to hasten the integration of newcomers.” Our DNA is to play. Today, in the second half, I saw a team confident in what they had to do, up against a squad that had put us in that position, but we tried to equalize. “Today, this too will serve the team to tackle what is still our championship.”

“Would it have been better to have a penalty with a yellow, rather than the red and the goal?” “That’s not bad luck, that’s football. Congratulations to Soulé, he had a tremendous play. We don’t often see goals like this lately in Serie A. “The incidents are about losing players. It swirls like that around us, but I see the boys working daily and there is extreme confidence in the group.” PECCHIA TO DAZN

What does it feel like to see a team that never gives up but can’t seem to bring home the result? “Great disappointment because every now and then the boys also need to find the right recognition but the facts are these. It’s a dark moment, but we’re still alive. “There’s a will to live, so we’re already thinking about tomorrow.”

Will a three-man defense be useful in the future? “The discourse of experience does not change the formation. If played with three, the experience is always the same. Experience must be obtained on the field, tactical adjustments can still be found”.

Did he revisit the early season form of Bonny? “Yes, if we want to delve into his individual performance, he had already shown significant signs at Cagliari. For us, this is a great asset. “On the market, we had stepped in to acquire an experienced player (Djuric, editor’s note) but now we no longer have him.”

“Almqvist has made a good entry.” “It has lacked consistency, however, it has always given significant signals when employed. It’s not about quantity, but quality.” It possesses distinct characteristics that enable it to accelerate and play at great speed. Lovik too has shown promising signs, we need to find solutions within our team and continue to believe and work.”

Comment on Suzuki. “Even for him, it is not easy to play under pressure, given what he is doing. “Kudos to him for the save, he too needs confidence and such performances.”
