May 1, 2024 is a day that fans of Parma they will remember for a long time because it is the one in which they achieved the mathematical certainty of promotion to Serie A. The 1-1 draw at Bari was enough, by virtue of Venezia’s defeat in Catanzaro, to become unattainable for the Ligurians, now third at -7 with two games left in the cadet championship. Pecchia accomplishes another feat and achieves the third promotion of his career after those with Hellas Verona and Cremonese: “It was a very complicated championship right up to the end. There isn’t an adjective, I embrace every boy, even those who are been on the sidelines for a long time. It’s a victory for a club.” Then in the conference the announcement: “Who will be on the bench in Serie A? Pecchia”.
The words of the protagonists – There are many who talk after the match, starting with the goalkeeper Leandro Chichizola: “How important is this goal? Very much because we have been looking for it since last year, since I arrived. Reaching it today is important. I am very happy, we have deserved it for a long time. The secret? We have all worked from day one, we are We were always calm, precise, knowing what to do. We trusted the coach and what he asked of us every game and we succeeded.” Then it’s the turn of Nahuel Estevez: “I always talk about the group, which is more important. Pecchia made many changes and the boys responded perfectly. We are a group, 25-26 players fighting for the same goal. Nobody is special. From the first day of this We want this year. We remember the match against Cagliari, it was a strange feeling to lose at home, but we saw how the people behaved and this year luckily we brought Parma where does it deserve awakening? Maybe we won’t go to sleep at all.” Also Enrico Delprato he had his say: “I was a bit destroyed at the end, playing every three or four days… Now the emotions can’t be described, it’s incredible, we hope to do it tomorrow. We can’t believe it but it’s an indescribable emotion, we looked for it from the first day of training, we knew we had a strong team. We need to get on the pitch but the emotions are special in this heat.” Space for the emotion of Tjas Begic, who was not called up yesterday: “It’s a wonderful feeling, we’re all happy, we’ve worked all year for this. It’s right, we’re going to Serie A. Did I expect it? No, not to go to Serie A straight away. But the team is strong, we are all strong and as I said, that’s right.” Also not present in Bari Drissa Camaradisqualified: “I’m so excited, I don’t know how to explain it. To whom do I dedicate the promotion to Serie A? To all the Parma players”.
The words of the exes to TMW – There are 6 exes who spoke to our microphones, Luigi Apolloni is the first in chronological order: “Deserved promotion. After 3 somewhat troubled years, even if it was a crescendo… Well done to the club, Pecchia and the boys, who slowly believed in the work done. Finally, well done to the fans too because in another place one would not have expected so much after the promises made. Now in Serie A Parma finds the past of the glorious years.” Over the moon too Mario Stanic: “I’m very happy, seeing Parma back in Serie A is great news. They dominated, deservedly so. From start to finish. I followed the results through newspapers and television, the season was exciting. The team demonstrated character, desire, determination.

In Serie A it will be a different story.” Enrico Chiesa is another of the symbols who spoke: “I’m very happy, he deserved the promotion because he had a great season, he was always at the top of the table. I’m very happy for the fans, it’s an important place, which deserves Serie A , but also for the club, first and foremost the president, who has invested a lot. He has ensured that this promotion is the result of work, of the organization of a club that I hope can also lay the foundations for the future, doing well in Serie A. “. Also Stefano Fiore exalts Pecchia’s team: “Deserved promotion, Parma dominated much more than what the table says because they always played great football, which is unusual for Serie B. They also had great continuity with many young players.” Radiant too Alessandro Melli: “I am very happy above all for the people, but also for the fans and for the club. In my time, after the first time it became normal to be in Serie A, I believe that today’s promotion is a deserved one. I believe that the club will make a team at the height of the category”. Finally it is Lorenzo Minotti to sing the praises of the gialloblù: “Parma returns to the football that counts, I hope to be able to comment on it and experience it up close in matches with important teams that will light up memories for me. I am happy for this city which has shown great maturity, welcoming a American ownership with a somewhat particular mentality, which went through a great disappointment, but the public supported and supported it and the results arrived. It’s nice to see a public that believes in the team and the ownership and that accompanies them with one’s enthusiasm.”
