The team is there. And there is also a nice climate. Today, April 25, the Parma Clima baseball group was presented to the press at the “Cavalli” stadium. And immediately afterwards the players took to the field for training. There’s a lot of energy, there’s a lot of motivation. And this climate is shared by everyone.
“We are here to present the team to the city – he introduces Gianluigi Calestani, head of the press office and moderator of the event –. I like to underline this renewed sense of team and the profound preparation work that has been carried out. Now we all have to row in the same direction to achieve the goal of winning the championship, it’s been eluding us for 14 years now.”
“Unfortunately, many public representatives were unable to attend today for institutional reasons, but we are here and we are excited – he explained Luca Meli, president of Parma Baseball -. I speak as president and as a fan: the team will give its all. It will not be easy. All the opponents will want to make a good impression but what matters is that there is great unity in our team. Tomorrow a particular journey begins. I hope we start off on the right foot in Grosseto too. Best of luck to everyone. We will all win and lose together. First of all, have fun, but what matters is the final result, I am convinced that you will not give up. Things change with a 7-inning championship but if we do a lot to understand the wonderful challenge that exists between hitter and pitcher this sport could develop excellently over time.”
“We have reduced the team roster but increased the quality – declares Maurizio Renaud, sporting director -. We see an excellent team spirit in the locker room. We think we have achieved all the objectives. There is a very good relationship between everyone. We have to start strong straight away. We still have to reach our best form but we will get there soon.”
“We win and lose together – intervenes the general manager Massimo Fochi – Everyone must find maximum concentration and take care of their goals. Ours is a team that must learn to grow and work every day with a specific objective in mind: to win.”
«It was a very long winter – he explains Marco Campanini, Team Manager -. With the new rules we had to start from scratch. Bringing the highest possible quality to Parma. Each of the kids must feel indispensable. We may have a slightly short team but it is of extreme quality. Some players can perform multiple roles: it is an important characteristic of our team.”
