Parma will also be at the starting line of the next Serie A 2024/25: after a long and painful pursuit of promotion, the Crusader team managed to achieve the objective it had set for itself since the day after the ruinous relegation of 2021. It hasn’t been an easy season for Pecchia and his boys, who had to push hard to avoid sudden drops in tension and were always followed by opponents such as Catanzaro, Cremonese, Venezia and Como. But in the end, the Crusaders proved to be the strongest. In this end-of-year report card we are going to see the contribution of all the protagonists of the year, continuing with Adrian Bernabé.
After a year of lights and some shadows, Bernabé’s performance this year has been much more continuous. With Vazquez’s departure, he became the centralizer of Parma’s offensive maneuver, playing many more balls and taking on more responsibilities, while at the same time increasing his numbers in the scoring area and assists. The Serie A teams already have him in their sights, now Bernabé must take center stage in the top flight too: he has all the qualities to do so.
The numbers – 2740′ spread across the championship and cup, with 38 appearances and 9 goals for the young Spanish midfielder. Also several assists for him, as well as 6 yellow cards. Practically indispensable for Pecchia.
Highlight moment – It’s impossible not to mention the recent brace against Lecco, where Bernabé returned to his levels after a few unsuccessful attempts. But it is in the first round that the Spanish talent really made the difference, with some monstrous performances such as those against Ternana and Palermo, just to name two. In general, apart from some breaks in the second round, a very high level championship.
