Parma’s championship will not be a walk in the park, and Pecchia’s side have realized that in the last few games. To earn salvation you have to suffer and fight, and today Parma showed that they are capable of this. The point gained in Bologna is golden for the way the match went and gives us a fighting Parma who, with great character, were able to overcome some of the difficulties that arose in the last unsuccessful trips. But let’s take it in order, because there are two matches that are worth commenting on. In the first part of the match, the two teams went head to head and played evenly, battling in the midfield and keeping the intensity very high. Parma were by no means perfect, but eventually they began to give the impression of some semblance of balance again. The team was always in the game perfectly, without any drops. There were some difficulties in the very first stage of the build-up, especially as Italiano managed to outshine Bernabe with suffocating markings, but when Parma recovered in the top zone, he managed to create several quality chances. There was more attention in the defensive phase, although there are a few things to note: Bologna were unable to punish the Dukes, but there were some imperfections in the marking and, above all, some difficulties in the air game. So we come to the 52nd minute when Di Bello pulls a red card for Koulibaly. From this moment another game begins. A fourth red card of the season could have been the blow that killed a team burned by recent results. Instead, there was a great reaction of pride and character from a group that did not accept defeat, fighting tooth and nail to get the point. With great humility, Parma left the ball to Bologna and the group rallied in difficulties, both concretely on a tactical level and in a figurative sense. The defense became impenetrable and showcased Balogh’s best qualities since he was at Parma. Parma fought hard until the end, regaining the solidity and balance that had cost them heavy points in recent games. This draw gives the team oxygen before the break and, above all, teaches the guys what kind of spirit it should be to stay in Serie A.
