Parma Coach Pecchia Prepares Team for Tough Roma Encounter

Ahead of Parma’s 17th Serie A fixture against AS Roma, head coach Fabio Pecchia shared his thoughts during a press conference. Following a disappointing loss to Hellas Verona in their previous match, Pecchia stressed the importance of maintaining enthusiasm and energy throughout the week.

“It’s crucial to manage different phases of the season and focus on the upcoming game,” Pecchia stated. He acknowledged the challenging nature of Serie A and emphasized the need to move past setbacks quickly.

Parma has shown prowess against top-tier teams this season, securing victories over AC Milan and Lazio, as well as drawing against Juventus. Pecchia hopes for another strong performance against Roma, noting, “We’re facing a formidable team in an exciting atmosphere. Under Ranieri, Roma has regained its composure. I want to see a combative Parma, eager to compete against a well-rounded opponent with quality, structure, and physical strength.”

The coach also highlighted the importance of balance in the team’s approach. “Greater equilibrium provides more scoring opportunities while conceding fewer goals,” he explained. Pecchia concluded by emphasizing the need for the team to maintain their spirit and determination while addressing areas for improvement.
