«Tomorrow I expect a success for Parma and I hope that soon the yellow-blues can celebrate their return to Serie A. Palermo is a stadium in which I really enjoyed playing and I remember with pleasure that time, during an Italian Cup match , when I scored against the Rosanero.” This is the thought given to the microphones of ilovepalermocalcio.com by Faustino Asprilia, a former Colombian striker with a past at Parma.
What impression did your former team make on you this year?
«I have to say that it surprised me. I don’t think anyone expected such clear dominance from Pecchia’s team. I must say that they were very good at being continuous, recording rare moments of decline.”
Besides Parma, have you had the chance to play for other teams in Italy?
«Yes, I was close to both Inter and Milan. I could have gone to the Nerazzurri in 1993 before the World Cup played in 1994. However, I could have ended up at Milan in 1996, when I then went to England to wear the Newcastle shirt.”
Do you remember the strangest thing that happened to you in Italy?
«I remember an episode in a match against Torino. Sottil played for the Granata and during the match I saw him do strange things, incomprehensible to me. I looked at him and didn’t understand. Then they explained to me that he had a nervous tic.”
Do you still like the Italian championship?
«Yes, I always follow him with great pleasure. Inter impressed me, even if they need to improve their performance in the Champions League. However, Milan disappointed me. In recent years it has not been at the levels of its glorious past and has also lost a bit of appeal in Europe.”
Returning to Palermo-Parma, what prediction do you feel like making for tomorrow?
«Personally I have no doubts. Parma will win with the result 2-1.”
