Parma, Fabio Pecchia no-holds-barred on the turnaround

Parma has è become winter champions by scoring 41 points out of 57 total, with a six-point lead over second-placed Venezia and Como on 35 points. Looking ahead to the continuation of the championship, the ducal coach Fabio Pecchia, during an interview with the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", expressed his feelings about the return leg, which for the Emilians will start against Ascoli on Sunday, January 14, 2024 at 16:15.

"We had a very good first round, but è now that comes the difficult, it will be necessary to raise our level becauseé all teams will strengthen. Already; facing Parma givesà a lot of stimulus to our opponents, but now that we are also first in the standings we will expect even tougher matches. Thereà will always be someone who will tryà to put us in trouble. We should not think about the other teams, but focus only on ourselves, on working and preparing each match as best as possible" began the Emilians’ coach.

"We started a project focused on growth and the development of young people, and this year you can see the fruits of the 18 months of work we have behind us. It's normal that it has taken time, because you have to wait for the kids. We have been good at creating an inclusive environment. I knew Parma from the outside, from the inside I understood the issues. One of the main ones was cultural, as there were players from as many as 14 nationalities, and it took time for everyone to understand the meaning and level of Serie B" added the ducali coach.

"We have experienced a progressive path of growth. We play good soccer, but we understood that sometimes you canò win differently. We understood through the beatings we suffered that continuity è è was necessary to be able to create a winning mentality. We just needed to develop the talent of these kids. Satisfaction è to hear people say that they enjoy watching us play" commented Fabio Pecchia.
