Piacenza, 16 March 2024 - Head Coach, Fabio Pecchia, spoke following Feralpisalò vs. Parma on matchday 30 of the Serie BKT season.

“It's proof how how difficult this league is, today was another game managed well in the first half, but with great suffering in the second. The game is worth a lot, the second half was difficult and, with a bit of luck, we managed to bring home the three points. You have to celebrate when you win, it's the right thing to do. You don't just come across wins. The right enthusiasm for the win, but it ends here. There was great enthusiasm because more than a few of the players will head home now with a few extra days of rest. I don't see anything else. An adjective? Ugly game, in the sense that we were not our usual selves in the second half. There was a sigh of relief for the win at the final whistle because the game was very open and anything could have happened. It is one of the last games and the most important, since it wasn't one of our best performances in the second half. We did what we had to do to begin with, good rhythms from the start and when faced with Feralpi's attitude. It is a big win with high value, because in the second half, we suffered. We created a lot of chances, but also struggled. We needed to get another goal, because games are always open, when there is the possibility of a counterattack, despite us developing well, today we missed that final push.

Bonny? Angelo has the skills and we need to know how to make the most of them, especially against a low block like Feralpi. I want to applaud my lads for the goal because it was a great play, sought after and fought for. Each of them have their own skills and they put them to use for the group, we always manage to have a stronger squad.

Winning is tough, you can lose against anyone or anywhere. Especially at this point in the season, great respect for Feralpi because they're a lively side, if we hadn't have been alert, switched on, we could have risked a lot. Now we look ahead without turning back. Zagaritis? Playing 90 minutes isn't like playing 15. Every time that I asked it of him, he delivered. And when I didn't ask, he delivered all the same. This is his response on the pitch. The 8 and 9 point lead? We want to deserve where we are, no overthinking, and looking ahead to the next one. We need to think about what lies ahead. Attitude? If you want to win the game, this isn't the way and I am not totally satisfied. At a certain point we felt Feralpi's desire. At 2-1, we could have made it 3-1, it isn't a superficial attitude, but we need to look at something again since games are never finished'.
