Parma, 30 September 2024 - Comments from defender Woyo Coulibaly, gave his thoughts at the end of the match between Parma and Cagliari, on match day six of the Serie A Enilive 2024/25 season.
'Tonight's defeat? The thing that made it worse were the errors. We levelled it coming back from 1-0 and then 2-1, so we always scored: in our heads this feels bad. We have to be stronger, more concentrated, focussed and continue to work. We lacked a bit of concentration in the first and second half, we have to lift ourselves up and keep striving forward. We have to learn to help ourselves more, be a bit more ruthless and have the desire to go after the opponent. How can we explain the third goal? I don't know what happened, I don't understand it. We have to work on situations like this in training because we can't give goals away like the last one. It's all in our heads, be it the desire to do well or the desire to help the team, because in football you play as eleven people, not on your own. Today I came off the bench and when I got on the pitch I understood that I needed to get forward to help the boys: I like playing with Dennis, Bonny and the other forwards. If I expected this sort of Cagliari side? Yeah, I expected this sort of side: low block, makes crosses and with a good structure. Crosses? We have worked during the week on this but this time we conceded a goal from a cross: we have to be a bit stronger when it comes to dealing with crossing and learn to try and limit them. The general physical potential of the team? I played 45 minutes, I can't say that I'm tired. Maybe there's a bit of tiredness in general, we work hard in training and we have to find a way to manage this sort of situation'.
