Parma, Bernabe: “Happy with the goal, Ascoli put us in a difficult position”

The match resulted in a victory on the Ascoli field, at home. Parma spoke about the midfielder Adrian Bernabe:

“I am pleased with the goal, especially because it came at a time in the match when Ascoli was forcing us to stay on our pitch for a long time. This gave us some peace of mind for the rest of the match. I haven’t taken a free kick for a long time, I wanted to shoot. I had some doubts because Ansaldi and Dennis were asking me for the ball. But I’m confident in my shot and it went well. Ascoli quits? They brought in a lot of short players for long throws and they have structure up front. We worked on it a lot during the week, they put us in difficult situations because they went one on one when we had the ball. Congratulations to Ascoli, this is a good team that will fight for the playoffs and it is not easy to play here. It was a tough match and they put us in a difficult position. As the coach says and as we say in the dressing room, every match is important and every match brings three points. We will have to treat them the same. Italian Cup? We don’t hide it, but it’s clear that the main goal is the championship. But it gives us the desire to play in the Cup and move forward because last year we had the opportunity to play at the San Siro, where for many of us young people it is a great experience. This year we still want to try, last year we were close to winning against Inter. These are good games and we will try again. At the top of the rankings? It’s important to get three points every week, continue to be humble and do what the manager asks when you go out on the pitch.”
