Reggio Emilia, 3 January, 2026 - Emanuele Valeri spoke after Sassuolo vs. Parma, on Matchday 18 of Serie A.

'We are taking an invaluable point home with us. Building on the win against Fiorentina was exactly what we wanted. Sassuolo are a very physical side and dangerous on the counter-attack. We created a lot of chances and there are aspects we can still improve, but this result reflects the work we’ve done during the week and is important looking ahead to the next match.

We work day by day to improve our game and now our focus immediately turns to Inter. We’re a group that always gives 100% on the pitch. I’m happy for Pellegrino’s goal and for Keita’s performance, they both put in a great display. Inter? Matches against top-level opponents provide huge motivation and we need to go into it fresh both physically and mentally to interpret the game in the best way possible. Personally, I’m feeling good and I always try to give everything on the pitch.'
