Rome, 28 April 2025 - Jacob Ondrejka gave his thoughts following Parma’s draw away to Lazio on matchday 34 of the 2024/25 Serie A Enilive season:
“I'm trying to do my part on the pitch and help the team. I always try to be ready and give my best, both in training and in matches. I had the opportunity to start tonight, and I hope I performed well for the Coach so I can get more playing time in the future. I'm frustrated with the draw because we were 2–0 up. I wanted the three points, but it’s also true that Lazio are a great team and were playing at home in front of a big crowd. We'll take the draw, but I can’t be satisfied with it.
“What did we say to each other in the dressing room? I don’t know Italian very well yet, but we told ourselves that we have to be proud of what we showed on the pitch. We probably would have taken a draw before the match, but, with the way the game went, we can’t be happy.
The goals? I’m happy to have scored against two great teams – one goal against Inter and two tonight against Lazio. It’s hard to put my feelings into words right now. The league table? It’s hard to think about the table after a game like this, especially because conceding two late goals is so disappointing. My first two months in Italy? I’m happy to be playing here and to be helping the team. It's a new environment, but I'm settling in well. I'm studying Italian, but it will still take a little time.”
