Parma, 13 November 2024 - Denis Man is here. But, most importantly, he has shown that he has been able grasp the words of Fabio Pecchia, just like the rest of the team, who on the eve of the match at the 'Penzo' against Venezia, which we won 2-1, asked the group for 'a greater sense of maturity and responsibility'. Said, done: Dennis, in Laguna, showed, just what the Head Coach likes, ductility and the desire to spur on his teammates, as well as the other, the role that he has taken at this point: the trequartista. Just like that he made the whole team, from Valeri to Sohm, from Bonny to Leoni to name a few, put in a great performance.

But that's not all, Man has played on the wings too, switching from right to left, always in the thick of it when it comes to the gialloblu's actions: a man at the middle of the offensive phases and build up, as the official data from the league shows. Dennis is one of the five attackers, alongside Mateo Retegui, Ademola Lookman, Romelu Lukaku and Rafael Leão to have scored three goals and gained three assists this season; as well as this, he is first among the players in his position for chances created (26) during the current season.

Numbers that put the Romanian international on the podium for chances created (16, behind Pulisic and Dimarco, one ahead of Leão and Zaccagni) and Parma Calcio are third in Serie A when it comes to direct attacks (24). Only AC Milan and Atalanta are ahead of the gialloblu, on 25 and 26 respectively.

Now, with these numbers, Fabio Pecchia's side will welcome Atalanta to the stadio 'Ennio Tardini' on Saturday 23 November (20:45 CET), on Matchday 13. For this clash, the gialloblu will need to continue to show their strength and maturity.
