Parma, Cuesta towards Fiorentina: “We know their qualities, but also the game we want to play”

Tomorrow the 17th round of Serie A will begin with Parma-Fiorentina, scheduled for 12:30 at the Tardini Stadium. Ahead of the match, Parma's coach, Carlos Cuesta, spoke at a press conference. Here are his words, reported by tmw:

On the match

“I expect a game where we will use the bitterness of what happened against Lazio but in a positive way. With the attitude that should lead us to the result we want. I expect a high level of aggressiveness, that the importance of the match is the same for us as it is for them.”

On recoveries

“Circati has made progress and will be called up tomorrow, as will Delprato.”

On Fiorentina

“How does perception change? It doesn’t change, we focus on what is under our control. We know their qualities but also the game we want to face.”

On Ondrejka and Oristanio

“Will the way of serving Pellegrino change with them? It will be one of our focuses: increasing the chances of creating danger. Without a doubt, having players like them can help us create more, differently, and better.”

On training

“We tried to use the two weeks to consolidate certain aspects: solidity and team spirit. Similarly, we tried to develop things that can help us in other phases, such as having the ability to unlock games in certain contexts, to become a team with more solutions.”

On the fans

“We would love for them to be with us. We would have liked to train in front of them and start creating that stronger bond. It wasn’t possible due to the weather, but we hope they can be with us tomorrow and that we can do our best to ensure they are. Their support can help the guys raise their performance level.”

On improvements

“We have been quite focused on creating more, especially in the last 30 meters: we have been concentrated on working on the field. It is a process that has seen improvements in various phases, there are insights that have shown we have arrived more. We want to do it better and with more continuity. We need to be more consistent: staying focused on the details that make the difference, it is a chain of events that are necessary to succeed in attacking better and more.”

On Keita

“Does he have the highest number of dribbles? Sometimes there are situations of numerical equality in this championship and players find themselves in duels, and this causes the best way to relieve pressure is dribbling. Mandela has the ability to use this and the statistics prove it.”
