Parma, 22 February 2025 - Midfielder Simon Sohm's words after Parma vs. Roma on Serie A Enilive 2024/25 Matchday 26
'We won a scrappy game, but we really needed this. We must take points and it is much better to win like this than to play amazingly and lose. Even the manager told us that only points matter now, we have 13 cup finals left and we have to take as many points as possible. We were more compact today against Bologna and we didn't concede, this was also thanks to the manager. We were also stronger in duels. Has Cristian Chivu been a breath of fresh air? Yeah for sure, in the past five days he has helped us develop mentally, and he has spoken a lot with us. He assured us that we were a strong side and he told us that we must always give our all when we play. He said we should always play as a team and defend together. My goal was really important, when I score I am always overcome with emotions. However, the most important thing is that we won and that we have put our losing run to an end. This victory is so important, but we are already looking ahead to Udinese: we want to keep winning. Where do you think you play best? Some times more forward, other times a bit deeper. But it changes a little. It depends on the match really: I play where the manager asks me to play and I will always give all I can'.
