Parma, Pecchia: “We can be deadly”

Statements by Crociati coach Fabio Pecchia during the presentation conference of the match against Catanzaro, published in the press room of the Mutti training center in Collecchio.

THE GROUP IS GOOD. “The break is different for us from all the others because most of us leave and we keep in touch with those who join the national team. The rest of the group are working and all are in good condition. Osorio will be the last to arrive. They returned well, some with some satisfaction, some with bitterness, but they were all inside. On Sunday I will have the whole group, except Anas, who returned with a fever. But nothing serious. The group is in good condition, when I have to make a choice, I will take these situations into account. Some played and were ready for the match, others were in the national team and were just training. But they’re fine, Osorio can play and Man will be there too.

“The ultimate challenge? The rating is what matters. I’m not surprised to see him there against Catanzaro because a lot of things have been said about the teams that have come out recently. But this is, to an even greater extent, a confirmation of what can happen in a team. It starts again with technical continuity, the knowledge of the coach, but he comes from a season where he only knew winning. And this environment creates an overwhelming situation, so you can see some values ​​on the field. We are faced with a team that wants to play, but above all with the calm that comes with them, because throughout the year they have always won and this atmosphere of calm allows them to make some good games. We will have to confront them in every way, both in the out-of-possession phase and in the out-of-possession phase. but above all when we have the ball. We need ideas to be clear. It’s a good test, a good test because Catanzaro wants to play football. And we will do the same, the one who has more strength and qualities will break the Balance in the match. If the match starts, let’s see, we also have the qualities to be lethal and hurt our opponents.”

“I want to see a convincing team from a technical-tactical point of view, but also from a psychological point of view. Because the environment is right, the team is right, they have ideas and they have personality that wants to play football. “It worked well, she is very calm, very confident and for us it is for this reason that I want to see a convincing performance from all points of view. Apart from the ranking, this does not mean anything, but there will be two teams fighting” we, the ones wants to play, wants to dominate, wants to promote their idea of ​​the game. It’s a good test for us after the derby.”
