Parma, 8 March 2024 - Statements from coach Fabio Pecchia, given at the end of Parma v Brescia, on Matchday 29 of the Serie BKT championship.

'It was an important stage, today it felt like a mountainous stage. Tough, extremely difficult, and credit to Brescia. I liked our approach, as usual, perhaps we were too frantic. And we lost our way a bit and went off track. Then, we faced a team that made things difficult for us, at times in the first part of the first half, they dominated the field. Then there was a good reaction with the goal, and the desire to win with spirit in the end.

The incident after Delprato's goal? You have to be able to do everything, you have to know how to play, you have to do good things on the field. On the final part, I feel I have to apologize to Maran and Brescia, something slipped, it went beyond good conduct, and I say on behalf of the whole group, apologies because moreover, we were in a situation of advantage and we received two yellow cards.

The Feralpi match? We have a clear objective within the group. We recover energy, we have a few extra days and then face Feralpi, another stage that we'll see what it entails. Today we come out with great satisfaction, great awareness, but also with great suffering.'
