Collecchio, 19 July 2026 – Carlos Cuesta spoke after Parma's 4-0 win over the U20s in the Club's first pre-season test of the 2026/27 campaign.

'It was a very useful match for us because it gave us the chance to put into practice everything we've been working on during this first week. We made the most of having so many players available, and it was great to see them all out on the pitch. Frigan? We're very happy to have him back, just as we are with the other players who were elsewhere last season. Now we need to keep going and continue working well. Today, the important thing was making sure all of the available players got valuable minutes under their belts. I saw a lot of positive signs in different areas, and now we'll keep working.'
