Parma, 29 February 2024 - Statements from the Sporting Director, Mauro Pederzoli, given on the sidelines of the conference 'Skills in the European sports world' at Palazzo Soragna, in Parma.

THE MATCH AGAINST TERNANA

'It's a week with a triple commitment, but it's also good because it obliges us to be alert and prepared. It's going to be a tough match. People always say that Serie B is balanced, and it may sound a bit cliché, but it's absolutely true. These are challenging matches, and the one ahead of us will certainly be so. However, we need to be ready. Do our rivals relent? It's the balance that characterizes this league, you can truly win or lose against anyone. We must always be at our best, and we will. It's normal that the standings reflect this equilibrium.

THE FUTURE OF DENNIS MAN

'Man's renewal? We have many important players, the Club is always working, and we have shown that we have plans and vision. Certainly, everything aimed at improving the value of our squad and securing a better future will be done. We are working on various situations. It needs to be handled calmly; we are always working. Many things have already been done and formalized, others will be done later, but there's a Club constantly striving for improvement. My contract? It's not the time to talk about that; we have huge team goals that then become individual objectives. Maximum focus and attention are on the immediate and very near future, which is the match against Ternana.'
