Parma, Fabio Pecchia announces lineup changes
Fabio Pecchia’s statements ahead of Parma-Pisa
After the external success against Cittadella, Parma, in the 25th day of Serie B, will face Alberto Aquilani’s Pisa. Kickoff Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024 at 2 p.m. at the "Ennio Tardini" stadium. On the eve of the match, the coach of the Ducals analyzed in no uncertain terms the match that awaits his boys.
"I see in Pisa a team built with a certain idea, which è changed a lot from last year, with a coach who è changed and has a clear philosophy of great dribbling and great possession and with players of good speed. In the first leg we had a great game, which was broken, but the most important game è is Saturday, it is worth three points, the focus has to be just that. Surely on the basis of the opponents we can expect some formation changes, but I want a focused, alert and ready team. The form canò change, forò the identityà and the philosophy of Pisa do not change. We, for our part, will have to be even moreù ready, attentive and responsive than usual. I want to see a mature and aware team" began the coach of the Ducals.
"All the guys are well and have a good overall condition, but the Cittadella match was very special compared to tomorrow’s. So there will be something different. Tomorrow’s match I have to think about it from a technical, tactical and motivation point of view. I want a focused group, I want everyone and I mean everyone with the desire to have fun, to be light and to play to win. The many warnings? If there will be a possible disqualification we will see then" continued the coach of the Crusaders.
"We will definitely see a good match between two teams that want to be protagonists in the competition, but so much will depend on our attitude. The whole Parma environment wants to win and have fun, but games are played in two,so we have to take into account the opponent. Our philosophy of play should not change, but there will be adjustments depending on who we meet. I do not expect to face a Pisa that will come here to play until the end" added the technician of the Emiliani.
In conclusion, Fabio Pecchia wanted to make an appeal to the fans of Parma: "I would like to see the same atmosphere that there'è since the early stages of this championship. I hope tomorrow to see the same atmosphere again".
