Parma, 1 April 2024 - Defender, Cristian Ansaldi's comments following the defeat to Catanzaro on Matchday 31 of the Serie BKT campaign.

“A strange match, we played our style, we knew they would sit back and wait for us. They managed to score at the right times, we had our moments. The team is much more mature than last year. The same thing happened in the away game, we won that one 5-0 despite taking a few shots on goal, the same thing happened today for them. 2-0 is always the most dangerous scoreline, we started the second half with the right mentality, we knew that if we could score, it would have become a different game.

We didn't manage to score at which point it becomes more difficult. As soon as we got to the dressing room, we told ourselves to continue doing our job, which has helped us to reach where we are now. We shouldn't lose our heads, but work with the same humility because hard work pays off. My return? I feel good, I'm happy. I haven't been well for the last three months but I feel better now after treatment. I missed the rhythm of the game; we have 7 games left which, as we say, are 7 finals. The referee? I don't like to talk about them, they do their job. But he did the best possible and can still make mistakes as anyone'.
