Claude Adjapong, in his weekly interview, analyzed the match against Perugia before presenting his next league match against Parma, almost a derby for the Modena-born defender:
“Last week was important because we were coming back from the loss at Cittadella, then the manager was sent off, so we knew we had to give something more against Perugia. The fans came to talk to us, cheer us on and give us the right push. A victory has been missing for a long time and the fans have earned it with the long trips they have made, we finally managed to succeed again at home. The coach was happy after the match, because during the week we interpreted very well what he asked of us, obviously there is something to work on, we know that, we must be focused on training and interpret what coach Breda asks. the best of us.”
At Perugia, Ajapong was involved as a defender in the back four proposed by Mr Breda:
“I think we played very well, although it was not easy because we worked on a three-man defense for six months, we had a good defensive line; from the whole team there was a desire to bring home a victory without conceding a single goal, it was important, regardless of the form. The coach has been here for a week, we are working every day to better interpret his mechanisms and bring them back into the game, we are all focused. With Perugia it was a dirty match, they showed courage and thirst to get the result. Now we have to continue Saturday’s game and show it on the pitch against Parma.
About Parma:
“They are a strong team with very important players, but if we show what we showed against Perugia, we can show a great game and result. B is a volatile championship, Parma is the team that wins against Genoa and other big names and then loses against Cosenza, who are less strong on paper. We know that we have a meeting with an important opponent, we will need to concentrate for a hundred minutes to achieve a result. Since I was born in Modena, this is a semi-derby for me, very sincere, let’s hope that we will succeed. Parma leads a lot, they are made for promotion to Serie A, so we will have to be aggressive so as not to make the opposition think.”
