Como, 24 February 2024 - The statements from coach Fabio Pecchia, released at the end of the Como v Parma, from Matchday 26 of the Serie BKT championship.

'It seems like Parma always has to play smoothly, and this is taken for granted. I don't fall for this game; I know what it means to play and win games. All teams are equipped and strong, Como is a strong team. We had a tremendous pace and quality in the first half, we took the lead, and we created many situations to double our advantage. In the second half, we took to the field once again, and towards the end, Como had a different dominance but without significant opportunities.

'We have to take many things into account, but I think about the team's performance. We come from a tremendous second half against Pisa, and today I had confirmation once again. In two days, we have to face another challenging match, and we can't influence much about what happens around us. So, we must focus on playing our matches, on how we play, and today I was given confirmation from the group because, in the most difficult moments, there was the desire to endure, to stay there and do the dirty work. The midweek round? It could be decisive, but at least until the first block of the break, and then from there it will be a mini-tournament. Of course, there have been games and challenging matches at this moment, but until the first block of the break, indications can be drawn.'
