PALERMO-PARMA 0-0 (FINAL) LIVE REPORT BY ANDREA BELLETTI » Ennio Tardini Stadium Parma

Parma wants to continue the march undertaken in the last round against Lo Spezia. He obviously does so with a partially revolutionized formation, expertly calibrated by the choices of Mr. Pecchia. Di Chiara gives Zagaritis a rest, while in midfield Hernani gives his breath in favor of Estevez who will try to support Cyprien’s initiatives. The attack has to deal with the absence due to disqualification of Bonny, replaced by Benedyczak who will have the two Romanian arrows Man and Mihaila at his sides. Bernabè returns to his natural habitat, that is, at the top of the midfield

49′ The game doesn’t break the deadlock, the final result is the result of the many errors in the last pass in which the yellow and blue were the protagonists. Palermo did not appear to be a compact and organized team, a more lucid Parma would have grabbed everything at stake. Unfortunately on this occasion Bernabè’s light went out
