Collecchio, 24 January 2025 <\/em>\u2013In the presence of Sporting Director Mauro Pederzoli, Jacob Ondrejka<\/strong> introduced himself in a press conference at the Mutti Training Centre in Collecchio today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mauro Pederzoli\u2019s welcome: \u201cI\u2019d like to introduce Jacob Ondrejka, the Swedish player we\u2019ve signed on a permanent deal from Antwerp. Jacob\u2019s story with Parma is quite interesting. While it\u2019s true that his journey with Parma is officially beginning now, it\u2019s also true that, since I\u2019ve been here as sporting director \u2013 and I\u2019m now in my fourth year \u2013 Jacob has always been at the top of the list drawn up by our scouts. Two seasons ago, there were some pretty close discussions when he was still playing in Sweden. After chasing him for a long time, we can now present him as a new Parma player. For us, it\u2019s very satisfying to see him in the Gialloblu shirt. I\u2019m sure he will bring great joy to us and our fans.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n READY FOR SAN SIRO AND PLEASED TO BE HERE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI played 82 minutes last week, and I\u2019m excited and ready to play. I\u2019ve had two training sessions, and we still need to put the finishing touches to our preparations for the match against Milan before the game on Sunday. I\u2019m arriving at a time when there are a few difficulties and, first and foremost, I\u2019m here to help the team on the pitch, although I also want to be a good teammate off it. I\u2019m happy to be in Parma and can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE CLUB\u2019S PHILOSOPHY ON YOUTH<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt’s a positive thing that the Club believes in young players. In general, it\u2019s important for a young player to feel the trust of the team and the club they play for, which isn\u2019t always the case.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ” data_box_twitch=”null” data_box_instagram=”null” data_box_tiktok=”null” data_box_twitter=”null” data_box_youtube=”null” data_box_facebook=”null” ][\/swp_base_p][swp_image id=”2″ type=”image” order=”3″ name=”image” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/17_jacob-20250124163930.webp” data_box_image_mini=”1″ data_box_image_alt=”Ondrejka” data_box_image_description=”null” ][\/swp_image][swp_base_p id=”3″ type=”base_p” order=”4″ name=”base_p” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_title=”null” data_box_subtitle=”null” data_box_text=”<\/p>\n CREATIVITY AND ENTERTAINMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a creative player, which I think is my best quality. I love dribbling, and I enjoy one-on-one situations and, of course, scoring goals. But I don\u2019t live for goals, and I always try to help the team with \u2018pre-assists\u2019, the assist to the assist. For me, it\u2019s just about the numbers; I don\u2019t only focus on goals and assists. I enjoy entertaining the fans on the pitch and giving my best. I try to do more than scoring goals and providing assists. In front of goal, I\u2019d like to be more clinical and ruthless and score more. In Belgium, I was the player who took all the free-kicks; every set-pieces was mine. Therefore, in terms of crosses, the data is perhaps somewhat \u2018skewed\u2019 by this; they weren\u2019t purely crosses. In general, I need to score more. I\u2019ve bagged a few this season, but I know I need to and can do more.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \ufeff<\/span>FROM IBRAHIMOVIC TO BROLIN<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been following Serie A for a while, especially because of Ibrahimovi\u0107\u2019s presence. Everyone in Sweden knows Serie A. Parma have had some difficulties so far, but I think we have the means to overcome them. I look to Zlatan as a point of reference and as a role model. He\u2019s the greatest player to have ever played for the Swedish national team. My goal is to get as close as possible to what he did. I chose the number 17 because it\u2019s a number I had at Antwerp before changing it, and it\u2019s also the number Hazard wore at Chelsea. Like Zlatan, he\u2019s someone I look up to. Thomas Brolin was another great Swedish player. I\u2019ve never spoken to him in person, but I obviously know who he is. After I posted a story on Instagram announcing I\u2019d signed, he wrote to me saying \u2018Good luck, fantastic club\u2019. That made me really happy, and I\u2019m grateful that he wished me good luck.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ” data_box_twitch=”null” data_box_instagram=”null” data_box_tiktok=”null” data_box_twitter=”null” data_box_youtube=”null” data_box_facebook=”null” ][\/swp_base_p][swp_image id=”4″ type=”image” order=”5″ name=”image” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/10_jacob-20250124164054.webp” data_box_image_mini=”1″ data_box_image_alt=”Ondrejka in conferenza stampa” data_box_image_description=”null” ][\/swp_image][swp_base_p id=”5″ type=”base_p” order=”6″ name=”base_p” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_box_title=”null” data_box_subtitle=”null” data_box_text=”<\/p>\n POSITION<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI spoke to Pecchia straight away. I prefer to play as an attacking left winger, but I\u2019m a very mobile attacking player, meaning I can play as a number down, down the right or as a second striker. I\u2019m available to play in any attacking position depending on what the coach asks of me. Joining a new environment and finding someone you already know (Mandela Keita, ed.) helps, as does finding people who speak your language. Mathias (L\u00f8vik, ed.) is Norwegian, but I have no problems communicating with him. Speaking the same language is very helpful both on and off the field because, at the beginning, there are always some adjustment challenges. But I have to say that everyone here at Parma has given me a great welcome.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n DEFENSIVE WORK<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a winger, so I like to attack. However, when you develop as a player in Sweden, a lot of defensive work is done, too. I was taught that the first thing you need to do is defend. Therefore, I\u2019m ready to contribute defensively. The European Cup Winners\u2019 Cup final between Parma and Antwerp? I know all about that match. Last summer, Parma faced Antwerp in a friendly. After the game, they honoured players who took part in that final, so I\u2019m familiar with it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n ” data_box_twitch=”null” data_box_instagram=”null” data_box_tiktok=”null” data_box_twitter=”null” data_box_youtube=”null” data_box_facebook=”null” ][\/swp_base_p][\/swp_wrapper][\/swp_content]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [swp_content page_og_title=”JACOB ONDREJKA: \u201cPRONTO A SFIDARE IL MILAN.
