Stefano Sottili had the following to say: “I’m very pleased with what the team showed in the first half, when we matched a side whose quality we know very well. Unfortunately, the penalty affected us mentally, even though Camelia did so well to save it.
“We gave very little away in the first half and also created chances, which was certainly encouraging. We had an opportunity to equalise through Ekić, but once we went 2-0 down, the game inevitably became more difficult.
“I was really impressed by our fans. It’s a real shame we couldn’t give them something to celebrate, especially considering the support they showed us despite the poor weather.
“But they can be sure of one thing: this team will fight to the very end, with determination and a willingness to make sacrifices, to achieve the targets we’ve set ourselves.”
Martina Tomaselli also commented: “We knew it would be a difficult game. We’re working with Coach Sottili to get our patterns of play right and make them second nature. We were already able to do some things well today, which is encouraging. Now we have to keep working, improving and developing.
“The fans? Hearing them behind us always gives us a real boost. I want to thank them for everything they do and for their unwavering support. I can’t wait to hear them at our home ground. I always enjoyed playing there as an opponent, and I’m happy I can now experience that atmosphere in a Parma shirt.”
