Fabio Pecchia explained the exclusion of Parma’s two young players from the Brescia challenge

Smiling after the 2-0 win at home to Brescia, Parma coach Fabio Pecchia answered questions regarding the exclusion of Jayden Oosterwolde and Simon Sohm, confirming that it was for disciplinary reasons.

“I coach a very young team,” Pecchia said, “my task is to improve the players tactically, physically and professionally. We made the decision with the club, the boys took a slip that can be there and it ends there, from tomorrow we start again. But my task is to train professionals.”

On the nature of the ‘slip,’ however, Pecchia preferred to gloss over: “Small things, there are rules that must be respected. I would still avoid raising fuss, there was a signal to give. Sometimes you exclude a player because he misses the diagonal several times, sometimes for other reasons. I repeat, however, from tomorrow we will start again.”
