Parma’s Coach Pecchia Discusses Team Lineup and Strategy for Monza Match

In a pre-match press conference, Parma’s head coach Fabio Pecchia shared insights on the team’s preparation for their upcoming home game against Monza at the Tardini stadium. Pecchia announced that Delprato and Estevez would be unavailable for the match, while Haj Mohamed was not included in the squad list.

Pecchia emphasized the importance of mental preparation, stating, “We must focus our energy on the available players and respond positively on the field. I continue to ask for trust in our work and the ability to react, which is crucial for emerging stronger from challenging situations.”

The coach acknowledged the team’s recent difficult fixtures against top Serie A sides and stressed the need to concentrate on the Monza match. He called for support from the fans, saying, “We need everyone, including the crowd, to push us forward. Our attitude on the field will be crucial in energizing our supporters.”

Discussing the team’s objectives, Pecchia stated, “Our ultimate goal is clear: we must secure our place in the league. The table is fairly defined, with a large group playing a separate championship. We’re facing this season with a very young squad, and we’ve had an ‘extraordinary situation’ with four players out injured for the rest of the season. We’ll need to make numerical additions to the squad in the transfer market.”

Pecchia also commented on Monza’s recent coaching change, wishing new manager Salvatore Bocchetti well while noting, “I don’t think Monza will change their playing style much in just 2-3 days. We need to be mindful of the mental aspect of the game.”

As Parma prepares for this crucial match, Pecchia’s focus on mental strength and team unity highlights the challenges facing the young squad in their bid to maintain their Serie A status.
