Parma's coach, Cuesta, analyzes the eve of the match against Udinese, focusing on the team's condition, continuous growth, possible choices, and the opponent's characteristics.

Cuesta: "Against Udinese, we will need our highest level"

It was Carlos Cuesta's turn, the coach of Parma, to speak at the press conference on the eve of the match with Udinese. Various topics were addressed by the very young Spanish coach, who reiterated the importance of this match to consolidate a super positive period for the Parma team:

Regarding the week of work and unavailable players:

"We are not recovering anyone, Ndiaye is out. It has been a week with the usual focus: continuing to grow, the positive result has helped. We want to create continuity and grow in terms of performance. Tomorrow we want to show our highest level."

On the possible use of Corvi and the reintegration of some players:

"It's a possibility. We have been able to reintroduce players at a higher level, including Vicente, who hadn't had time with us. It helps the group to raise the level."

About Udinese and its characteristics:

"A very strong team, with high-level individuals and clear organization, with the ability to build from the back and defensively organized. A club consolidated for many years, thus a strong team. Parma must be focused, with a high level of attention, rhythm, and intensity. Also, with an organization that allows us to express ourselves at our best. I expect Tardini to help us too."

On mental work and balance after the last result:

"We must be realistic, we cannot be swayed too much by the result. There are also things we did well before, now we must immediately improve other things. You must have that balance. Our focus this week has been the same: consolidate what has been done well and look at the priorities for improvement. The guys are very aware of it. We must be very humble and work very hard to achieve the result, being at our maximum level."

On Oristanio, Ondrejka, and the expected type of match:

"They can help a lot, they have unique characteristics. How many minutes they play depends on the type of match, whether it will be slower or more box to box. They can certainly help us. As a team, we have many options, with various guys who can do well."

Regarding the growth path required for the team:

"We need to make a quality leap every day. Our standard is always to try to improve. We know we need a lot of work and concentration, a high level of attention to make a great performance, which we hope will lead us to the result."

On the expected tactical dynamics in the game:

"I expect it to be a football match. We will have moments when we will have to defend lower, others higher. They will have very clear characteristics, they want to have the ball and find quality players in front. We also have a clear idea of the match we want to create. When it's not possible, we must be aware of having the resources to be competitive."

On the work of goalkeepers Corvi and Guaita:

"Guaita is Guaita. He has a great ability to read the game and reduce the opponents' dangerous opportunities. Corvi had a week like the previous one. We are consistent in preparing the games, with a process that leads us to play well. He has trained well, even when he was not playing. If he plays, he is prepared to deliver a great performance."

Regarding Cutrone's moment:

"Cutrone is doing well, he wants to contribute to the team. There are many important aspects of the game, and Patrick can give us a lot because he is already doing so."

On the decision to confirm Lovik on the left:

"He has done well in recent weeks, and the desire for continuity led us to that choice. He was the most ready to play as a left-back."

On what Valeri can bring:

"Valeri can play tomorrow. He has great crossing abilities and therefore can create goal opportunities. He knows how to attack depth and is also growing defensively. Without a doubt, both he and Lovik are two guarantees."
