Sampdoria, Andrea Pirlo puts pressure on Parma

Andrea Pirlo’s statements ahead of Sampdoria-Parma

Sampdoria will open the 21st day of Serie B against top-ranked Parma, which, after being stopped on a draw by Ascoli in the previous round, will try to regain the victory to keep Venezia and Como at a distance. On the eve of the match, Blucerchiati coach Andrea Pirlo, during the pre-match press conference, bluntly analyzed the challenge that awaits his boys.

"In the last three games we have not managed to win. Of positive thereì è always been the attitude with which we took the field. With FeralpiSalò we tried to recover the disadvantage despite the numerical inferiority and with Bari we managed to tie it at the end. A very tough match awaits us against the best team in the league and we will try to make a good impression" began the Blucerchiati coach.

"At this level you cannot afford to commit soì many individual mistakes. When you get in the area è it goes without saying that you should not put your leg and you have to be more careful. In those moments the boys have to try to be more lucid. I tried to hold them accountable by making them understand that in the course of a game you need more; personality; to understand what is going on. I hope they have understood the lesson and will restart with the spirit that has always been there, with the desire to return to success against a great team" added the former Juventus coach.

"I believe the team can make it to the playoffs. Now we are waiting for the players to recover as soon as possible. When we are more or less full, we will have a roster that can play with anyone to aspire for something more,” Andrea Pirlo commented.
