Parma, Pecchia: “Everyone wants to beat us, our history is of great importance. But we work hard”

As reported on the club’s official channels, on the sidelines of the 31st Dante Boni Award ceremony, which took place at the Tardini Stadium in TV Parma he intervened Parma coach Fabio Pecchia: “The match with Como was not a classic Serie B match, their Trident squad included Serie A players. For us it was a big test, a beautiful match, there was a huge risk in the last seven minutes. It was for this reason that it was a fundamental and very important victory. We have a lot of work to do, and if we want to stay here, we will always have to do more. Everyone wants to beat us, since last year, because there is a history that weighs us down, there is a coat of arms, and this is an incentive for opponents. In addition, the ranking now forces our opponents to study us, and we must constantly improve our results.“.

Then we move on to the group: “Democracy in a collective group? It is true, there is a certain democracy where a strong identity and a healthy, strong group must reign. At the center is the collective, where everything works individually and individuals can make their qualities available to the group. I said that too when I was young, I like that it is the team that strengthens the individual, and not vice versa.. Working with young people is exciting, and in recent years I have been lucky enough to have talent at my fingertips. I see some young people who perform great for a month and then have very bad days, it’s part of their ups and downs, it’s their evolutionary journey. When they find continuity and stability, they become top-class footballers.”

Conclusion on the next match against Ascoli: “I think it will be a very difficult match, given the situation and the fact that they are on a positive streak.”
