Parma, 4 August 2024 - The post-game words of Enrico Delprato after Parma 4-1 Atalanta, the fifth friendly of the 2024/25 pre-season.

'We took this match as an opportunity to do well in the things the coach asked of us, regardless of the physical condition of the opposing teams. I wanted to try to win. We played a very good match today. My role? I adapted to the coach's requests and tried to do my best in every position. Atalanta's strength lies in their physical condition, but we were better. We took the field with humility but with the awareness that we could make our mark. It was a really good performance. The coach? He tried to implement a proactive style of play. Serie A will be completely different from Serie B, with moments where we will have to struggle. We want to approach Serie A with personality, knowing that we are young and want to play our football. Without thinking about anything else. Today's victory? We had to approach it in the right way. Atalanta underwent heavy training at the beginning of the year. I am sure they will be completely different in the league compared to today's match. Perhaps they weren't at 100 per cent today, days like this happen. But we were happy with our performance. It was nice to play against the team that raised me in their Youth Sector'.
