Bergamo, 24 May 2025 - Captain Enrico Delprato's words after Atalanta 2-3 Parma, on Serie A 2024/25 Matchday 38.

“We were in a bad position at the end of the first half, and we had a lot running through our head, but we tried to stay focused on the game. However it's normal that the other results have an impact on you, even subconsciously. Some of the team had their heads down but we tried to get their belief back as we knew that if we had this attitude in the second half, we would have had no chance in getting anything from the game. However we did well to start strong, and we knew we were facing a strong side, and well done to them for this season, but the boys were brilliant and formidable. It's a triumph for us all, for the boys. For Chivu as he has given us a lot of help since he arrived. To Pecchia, who got us promoted to this league last year. To the medical staff, the club, and the fans who have always been there for us. We had that little confrontation after the Lecce game and then they got back behind us. We don't want to forget Pecchia's impact as he was with us for two years and we have him to thank for our promotion to Serie A, and we felt to blame for his sacking. Then Chivu got the morale back up and he has improved many mental and technical aspects. This evening's match sums up the whole season, and despite what we have given away, we have managed to turn around games that seem lost, also thanks to our age. We are a young group, this inexperience has been part of our season, it's tricky. We gave our all to achieve safety. At the start we made the error of thinking that we would be safe really easily. No doubt this will give us maturity for next season, in a league where you have to remain focused all the time or it can get out of your hands. However, I repeat, today sort of summed up our season. The goal to make it two was because of silly errors and then this lightheartedness, this craziness that allowed us to win a game that seemed lost. The biggest prize is that we earned safety, because we won and this was the best ending possible. What was the match like for me? Special as I was here through the youth sector and then I made the first team. But it was all about Parma tonight. Where will I be celebrating? Hopefully here, but then I am going to celebrate with my friends in Parma'.
