Parma, Pecchia: «We want to win the last goal on the pitch»
Coach Fabio Pecchia’s conference ahead of Parma-Cremonese: «The circle with Cremo closed with the celebrations for Serie A»
Destiny wanted Mister Fabio Pecchia to face, just won Serie A with Parma, Cremonese itself, also brought to the top flight. Of course, on the one hand it can have something romantic about it, but for the Cremonese fan it is one more reason to try to “ruin” the celebration of the crusaders, especially in light of the coach’s recent statements about his stay in Emilia. Beyond that, to the technician ducal we cannot help but congratulate ourselves for having fully expressed the potential of a young and talented squad: the promotion is more than deserved. Below, the press conference by mister Fabio Pecchia on the eve of the match.
PROMOTION PARTY – Understandably, much of the conference was spent talking about the promotion to Serie A obtained thanks to the draw in Bari: «It seems like an eternity has passed since Bari. That joy remained within us, but the championship is not over. The post-match was tough, but that’s normal, it was time to celebrate and hug our people. Our journey starts from the warehouse workers, they all have a fundamental role». Then, a mention of his decision to remain on the Parma bench again next year: «My goal was to stay at this clubI’m also curious to see how my boys will approach the top flight».
CREAM AND COMPETITION – Next, a couple of considerations on Cremonese, also in light of his past in Cremona «We will find a team of quality and physical strength in the defensive department. An experienced squad that has lost ground in recent weeks, but for several months has given the impression of being able to play it all the way. They are very good with the ball, we will have to try to direct the game in the right direction. I don’t think a circle is closing: for me, with Cremonese, the circle closed after the celebrations for the Serie A. Tomorrow there will be many of my former players who will want to play big, we have to keep up with them». To win, you will need to find the right motivations, including winning 1st place: «We have a mentality that allows us to have a goal until the end of the championship. I have a group that has desire to win to conquer the last objective on the field. With the Tardini sold out, we want to share another joy with our fans». Finally, some training suggestions: «I have some evaluations to make regarding the turnover: for example, in goal I like to maintain hierarchies. Corvi gave us a huge hand last year, he also did well in the Cup. It might have room but it’s not a premium. The match left waste so we need the people who are better off».
