Cittadella, 10 February 2024 - The statements from midfielder Hernani, given at the end of the match between Cittadella and Parma, on Matchday 24 of the Serie BKT.

'I am pleased to have scored today; last year I also scored here but we did not bring home the victory. Today we managed to win; we had opportunities to close the match. Cittadella is the most mentally aware team in this league; they are a tough team, difficult, and know how to play these kinds of matches. But we held up well and managed to play and bring home the points. I know many guys here; I was away for two years at Reggina and Genoa, then I came back, and I know the quality this group has.

All it took was a spark to become aware of what they can do. Now we must continue like this; we are on the right path; we are having a great championship, and we still have a long way to go. We must always keep our feet on the ground and work every day with humility. The title pursuit? The Serie B is really tough; just a momentary lapse and you experience what happened to us in Modena. I was impressed by Venezia, which has many players who have played in Serie A; even Cremonese impressed me, but we must focus on our own path.'
