Parma, 30 August 2025 - Carlos Cuesta's post-match words after Parma 1-1 Atalanta on Matchday 2 of Serie A.

“We expected a Tardini full of energy and that's what we got. We love this. And we don't only like it, but it helps us. It helps us a lot to perform better, and it is important to create this unity between team and fans, which is definitely one of the best things about today. The analysis of the game? It was a balanced game, where both teams, above all in the first half, had possession without creating any danger in front of goal. In the second half, we managed to be more progressive with the ball, and got further up the pitch. It's true that they had a really dangerous chance, but the best thing was the team's reaction to the set-back. With all the changes that there were, it isn't easy knowing how to react, but the mentality of this group, in face of difficulty, is always positive. Cutrone? He came with loads of energy, we are very happy with how he has begun. And now, we must keep going this way. The international break? We have begun a process in need of plenty of adapting, if you compare the team against to Torino to today, it's totally different. The game that we want to play is more similar to today, but at times the opposition and the situation means that you need to adapt. It's a good time for us now, and the break will give us a bit of stability. Then, September will be upon us, and we will be able to see who we are and how we will be this season. And this helps us strengthen our growth. It will be a difficult season, with many top-level players and managers, but we want to keep growing and put in great performances'.
