ALESSANDRO VOGLIACCO: “I WANT TO BRING THE HUNGER NEEDED TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVES”

Collecchio, 16 January 2025 – Accompanied by Sporting Director Mauro Pederzoli, Alessandro Vogliacco introduced himself in a press conference at the Mutti Training Center in Collecchio today.


Mauro Pederzoli presented Parma’s new signing: “Alessandro Vogliacco arrives from Genoa, and I’m very pleased to have him here with us. I’m confident that he will make an important contribution to helping us achieve our objectives. I’ve already seen him at work in his first few days here, and I’ve noticed how he’s integrated into the group by displaying character and empathy. These are qualities ask for, and we’re also looking for him to demonstrate his technical abilities and perform well. We expect a lot from him, including from a character perspective, and I’m sure that’s what we’ll get. Welcome, Alessandro!”


READY TO PLAY

“I chose Parma because this is a big and ambitious Club with an important project. I’m proud to be here and to have the opportunity to wear this jersey, and I can't wait to get started. I want to help the team both on and off the pitch in whatever way I can. My aim is to lend the team a hand through my considerable experience. I’m really excited and can’t wait to play. I feel good mentally and am proud to be here.”


WE HAVE THE CHARACTERISTICS TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVES

“I want to bring positivity in difficult moments; those will always happen. I want to bring the hunger needed to achieve our goals, to stay united, to believe in our qualities and to work responsibly every day. I’m sure that all these qualities are here to help us reach our objectives. I didn't hesitate in saying ‘yes’: it’s an honour to be here. In Genoa, I was in a protected environment where everyone cared for me, but I felt it was time to challenge myself. Parma are an ambitious Club with a strong team, and it wasn't hard to say yes. I’ve been following Parma since the start of the season, and I think we have an entertaining and strong team. I believe we have all the qualities to do well. We’ll be a team that is hard to beat. I’ve been impressed by how all the players here want to make a big contribution: everyone has been working in a relaxed and professional manner. I’m optimistic for the rest of the season.”

AVAILABILITY

“I didn't talk to Pecchia beforehand out of respect for both clubs. When I arrived, he asked me to make myself available to the team, and that’s exactly what I’ll do. I can’t wait to work with him because I’ve heard some fantastic things about him. I want to help him and all my teammates. I haven’t spoken to Gilardino, but I know he has a strong connection to both the team and the city of Parma. He’ll definitely be happy that I’m here.”


POSITION

“Gilardino taught me to stay focused throughout the entire match and to always be reliable. I have always been a centre-back in a back four; only in recent years have I played in a three-man defence. However, I prefer playing as part of a back four. Regardless of this, I’m at the coach’s disposal and will play wherever he wants me to.”


HARD WORK TO ACHIEVE BALANCE

“I’m genuine and a down-to-earth guy, and I like giving my all and helping younger players. We’re strong and have everything we need to do well. We’re a newly promoted team, so balance is needed. We don’t have to win every match, but we need to maintain our principles with a sense of calm and continue to grow. Only by working hard will we find balance. I already knew Delprato, Valeri, Hernani and Cancellieri before coming here.”

MAKING THE FANS PROUD

“I like to feel empathy around me and stay in touch with the people who work around us. This will be crucial until the end of the season. It’ll also be important to generate positivity, bring our fans closer and make them proud. The Tardini is an important stadium and needs no introduction. We all want to win, and I can’t wait to get to know my new fans.”


SHIRT NUMBER

“I chose the number 21 because it’s the number of the birthdate of my brother and my little nephew, who is called Alessandro Vogliacco. I didn’t know that 21 was Thuram's number, and it's an honour to wear it. I just wanted to start something new, and that's why I chose 21, because of my brother and nephew.”
