Statements by coach Fabio Pecchia during the presentation of the match with Ascoli, released in the press room of the Mutti training center in Collecchio.
“A story about a lion or a gazelle? This is a beautiful story, but it seems to me more appropriate to bring our story closer to the story of Sant Ilario, the patron saint of Parma. In this second round we will have to consolidate our state of mind and, above all, maintain the same humility as Sant Ilario who walks barefoot through the streets of Parma. If we really want to get closer to history, I want us to get closer to this one. 2024? Our journey began a long time ago and we want to deserve the dessert of Sant’Ilario. We want to earn it on the field, so there is a desire to work and improve because the field will have to decide if we can maintain this type of ranking. And deserve it. The goal is clear and there is a desire to realize it. The moment Krause joined Parma, the journey began. And the idea of the Club should go beyond the individuality of the moment. Because there is history, a city and fans here.”
“A change of coach from the first match which was a good run of matches but with a completely different style of play. We have to be very good because Mendes and Rodriguez are very good, as is Nestorovski, but we will have to be equal in everything regarding duels, dirty balls, rebounds, second balls. In everything “incomprehensible” we will have to be at Ascoli’s level. I don’t see them having any difficulties, they drew with Cittadella in a physical and close match. Ascoli is in good shape, the latest result does not deceive me. Defensive team? He has a very defensive and physical team, both strikers have technical skills but also good physical fitness. Our dribbling will have to be much faster and more dynamic, and our counter-aggression will have to be more ferocious in order to find space and find a path to the goal. Askoli as a trap? When you underestimate something, it can turn out like this… Perhaps some games were played well, some very well, we made a lot of mistakes. However, we never underestimated our opponents. To think of Ascoli as a trap would be to underestimate Ascoli.
