Fabio Pecchia trusts Parma’s newcomers and warns AC Milan

The challenge è difficult, but confidence in new faces there'è.

Fabio Pecchia promotes his Parma’s new signings, and expects them to do well even in the face of a big opponent like AC Milan. On the eve of the challenge against the Rossoneri, the ducal coach says that the latest arrivals in Emilia could already give their contribution to the team.

"Djuric, Ondrejka and Lovik are close to already being able to play. They just have to finish their adaptation phase,” Pecchia told a press conference. “Just a week ago Ondrejka played 80 minutes, and Djuric brings great experience. We will need him, as Bonny has a fever and will have to stay out. I am happy, becauseé all three are well and will be able to be in the game".

For the rest, Parma will have to deal with the problems of some of its other members, who are still unavailable for Milan. "Estevez has been working for an extra weekù, and certainly his condition is improving. Bernabè instead è returned to work with the group and made some passes. He won’t be there tomorrow, but we are getting closer", Pecchia said.

Against Milan, after all, Parma’s strategy è already clear. "We will face a strong team, which will force us to stay low and long phases of non-possession of the ball,” Pecchia stressed.

Against us there will be a great European team, with great qualities. That is why we will have to be able to defend well and then be proactive when the ball is ours. We have to force them at that point to run after us".
