Parma, 5 November 2023 - Crociato midfielder, Nahuel Estévez’s comments following Parma’s victory over Sudtirol on Matchday 12 of the Serie BKT championship.
“Last year we suffered against Sudtirol, we knew that they were a team that let you play and play a dirty game. If you don’t have the right attitude, you can suffer. In the first half, our mentality and aggressiveness were strong, in the second, we had three in the middle and kept possession more. Overall, we played an excellent game. We’ve started very well in the league, but in Serie B, things can change we have to know this. We have made a good start but achieved nothing so far. Every match is difficult, we have to maintain this attitude and if we can, raise it even more. This is a Serie B where everyone wants to win against you. This team has quality footballers up front, my role is another, I work to help my teammates. I really like doing this, what I do is for the good of the team. We are young but we are mature enough. Last year the match against Como was difficult because of our attitude, it wasn’t correct. After we spoke, the importance of our attitude was understood. Now we are showing that as a team. There are many quality footballers who enjoy themselves on the pitch. But we have to take the responsibility that even though we are first in the table, we still have to improve and give more. I liked the attitude today, the way the team fought in the first half and when we had possession in the second half. Your team becomes stronger when you can do everything in a match like that. Venezia? Losing happens, the important thing is that we come together in a good atmosphere, and we have to create that ourselves.”
