Parma, April 2, 2026 – Parma Calcio continues its international journey within the One Planet, One Club project, now on the second episode of ‘Parma Roots’, a special interview series created in collaboration with Prometeon and the Gazzetta di Parma Group.
After exploring the origins of Captain Enrico Delprato, the new episode takes fans to another corner of the world, following the journey of Zion Suzuki. A journey that spans continents and traditions, making the Gialloblu club a true global family built on three fundamental values: identity, unity, and inclusion.
INSTINCT, DISCIPLINE, AND DREAMS: SUZUKI’S JOURNEY
In this episode, Zion Suzuki speaks openly about the milestones that have shaped his personal and sporting journey. From his first steps on the pitch at just five years old, inspired by his brother, to the almost natural choice of becoming a goalkeeper, a decision born from his passion for gloves, his physique, and an early awareness of his role.
The story also explores one of the most challenging moments of his career: his recent serious injury against Milan, which he channeled into an opportunity to develop a stronger and more resilient mindset. Suzuki reflects on handling mistakes, controlling emotions, and the importance of mental balance, vital elements for his role and personal growth.
The episode highlights his deep connection to Japan, his cultural roots, and how they coexist with his new life in Parma, in an environment he increasingly feels at home in. Through identity, adaptation, and ambition, we see a determined athlete, focused on the future and pursuing well-defined dreams.
