L’allenatore del Parma in conferenza stampa: “Quello che possiamo controllare è sempre l’impegno e l’atteggiamento in settimana e durante la partita”
“We are facing ten finals. We have to face them with the same spirit we have tried to convey since we arrived: there are ten finals left and what we can control is always the commitment and attitude during the week and during the match.” Cristian Chivu said this in the press conference preceding the salvation challenge between Parma and Monza. Bernabé is now ready: “He was on the bench against Torino, he could also play. Having the two center-backs cautioned we didn’t risk it, he had only done one training session. This week he has done it all and is available. I was clear from the beginning, there are hierarchies but you have to earn your status in a group. The most difficult thing is to earn the esteem of your teammate. The fundamental thing within a group is this. I try to give extra explanations, today with five changes you can smash and change a game. They have to understand the importance of the time they play, do everything to help the team. Man? Can add a lot in attitude and commitment. The team needs some ‘reinforcement,’ some advice, they are like the children we tell to brush their teeth every day. It’s not just a message for him, but for everyone.”
“Valenti? He is doing well, he has personality in going into duels, if I have to see who to put alongside him I have to take into account injuries. Balogh did well in Bologna and Udine even if the penalty came from his mistake. I try to keep the hierarchies and not change much so as not to put the group in trouble. Putting Leoni on the left at that age is a bit uncomfortable, we have to help him and put him where he is best. We also allow him a few more mistakes, he seems to me to be a smart kid who has understood what we want from him. He will become a great defender.”
Closing dedicated to Pellegrino, author of a brace against Torino: “Headlines last a short time,” says Chivu, “two days maybe. People want to see results the following Sunday. We have a duty as a club and staff to make the stars shine as long as possible, but also prepare them for the fall eventually. Because you fall, but you have to get back up quickly.”
