CARLOS CUESTA'S IDEAS
'The first thing is that I don't think that it is fair to set expectations, as expectations don't get results. In my opinion, what gets results are the standards set in daily habits, therefore our focus will be on this and on how to play. The first thing we need to do is to get to know the environment and the players and there will definitely be things riding on us in terms of organisation. We will always try to have an organised team in all phases, both defence and attack. We always want to set clear principles, and from there it will always be the same, our ideas will be guided by the same objective that we will look to achieve with the resources available to us, getting the most out of our players and doing the best to find a clear identity as a team. There are many different responsibilities, but I have always tried to add value, so I always helped the manager, to benefit the boys in order to exploit their potential and to add all that I knew. Now I have changed roles compared to what I did in the past, the choice was completely down to me and this is definitely the biggest change. What I can say is that we must defend and attack very well, we must try to score and we must try to not lose the lead. This will always be our goal and we will always move based on this, as in football there are moments when you have to defend and others when you attack, and sometimes you need to do both. I don't want to focus on one part as it isn't like this, it isn't a question of will, it's a question of belief. I think Parma are a team with potential, and I think that today in football you need to be complete: you need to know how to defend in a low block when necessary, but also know how to press high, when to attack when there's space, and when there isn't. There are definitely certain preferences but we want to become a team ready for any situation, getting the most out of our players because 11 defend, and 11 attack. We are all on the same page, simply different roles and different responsibilities. But in football now, you are one, a team when you attack and when you defend, so this is why we have to be like this'.
CLUB PARMA'S VISION: THE FIRST TEAM, THE YOUTH SYSTEM AND WOMEN'S FOOTBALL
'From the first day we spoke, it was very clear about the role, but also the club's ambitions and vision, in this case it is about the whole club, not just the men's first team and therefore our goal is to create, as the Director said, a culture. This culture will be seen in daily actions, and we will try to become one with Parma Calcio's mentality, philosophy and identity, trying to inspire and help in forming this model for everyone to move forward with this same attitude'.
