Collecchio, 20 September 2025<\/em> – This is what Carlos Cuesta<\/strong> had to say ahead of Parma\u2019s clash against Cremonese on matchday 4 in Serie A:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CREMONESE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis is an important month for us, one where we want to give consistency to our performances, keep improving and also get results that set us on the right path of growth and progress. We want to prepare in the best possible way and stay focused on what we can actually influence. We\u2019re expecting a very strong Cremonese side, a very well-organised team. Right now, they\u2019re in the Champions League places, and there\u2019s a reason for that. It\u2019s a team that reflects the enthusiasm, mentality and values of their coach. I don\u2019t know him personally, but everything I\u2019ve read, heard and seen about him is very positive: he\u2019s clearly able to communicate his concepts, ideas and vision to his players, both on and off the pitch. Cremonese are definitely a side with clear ideas and many strengths. We\u2019ll try to be clever and take the match where we want it to go. Will it be particularly tough against Cremonese at the Zini? They\u2019ve been good away from home as well: they\u2019ve taken four points from six, and they even managed to win at San Siro. So it\u2019s not just the results, their performances also speak for them. As far as we\u2019re concerned, we\u2019re focused on understanding the match and the different situations that can arise during it. Above all, we\u2019re focused on how to give our very best, be ready, and get the result we want. Cremonese are a team that really understand the moments of a match. We saw it against Palermo, against Sassuolo, against Milan and also against Verona. They\u2019ve been able to adapt during games: sometimes pressing higher to win the ball back in the opposition half, other times choosing to be more compact and defend deeper as a block. Cremonese adjust to the situation. In my view, they\u2019re a complete team, able to change during the game depending on the moment.\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_youtube id=”2″ type=”youtube” order=”3″ name=”youtube” option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_youtube_video=”7fssKKe6SH8″ ][\/swp_youtube][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 IMPROVEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhere are Parma at right now? You never really know exactly where you are, and I\u2019ll explain why: a team is like this bottle of water you see here now. Right now, it\u2019s liquid, but you don\u2019t know if it\u2019s at 25 degrees or 50\u2026 when it reaches 100, it changes state. What does that mean? It means we\u2019re definitely growing, because over these past weeks I\u2019ve seen the performances and I see how the players train. Today, I see a team that has improved, and that\u2019s a positive sign. Of course, we need to pick up points. We\u2019re focused on what we can control. In life, what you get is often determined by what you do. But in life, doing comes after being. So we\u2019re concentrating on being the best we can be, doing the right things to produce the best performances possible, and collecting as many points as we can.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CREMASCHI AT THE U20 WORLD CUP<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBenjamin will be available for the match, and after that he\u2019ll head off on international duty. He\u2019s the captain of the Under-20s and represents the United States with great pride. The fact that he represents the US is also a source of pride for us. It\u2019s great that he\u2019ll get the chance to experience something as important as the World Cup, both for his own development and because being with his national team can help him come back even more prepared to give us a hand, put in better performances and achieve great results.\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\/Cuesta_HD-056-20250919141433.webp” data_box_image_mini=”1″ data_box_image_alt=”null” 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 FROM CUTRONE TO TROILO<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWill Cutrone be a regular starter? You never know, because in this case the line-up depends on many things: the player\u2019s condition, how he\u2019s trained, how he\u2019s played, and also what kind of match it is. There are lots of factors that lead to the final decision. Patrick gives us so much: depth, presence in the box, hard work from a defensive point of view. He brings great experience as well. Whether he starts on Sunday, we don\u2019t know yet, but we\u2019re absolutely convinced he can help us, whether from the beginning or coming off the bench. Troilo? He could start: all the players available right now are ready to play from the get-go. Lautaro Valenti felt some discomfort before the Cagliari match and won\u2019t be available.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n INDIVIDUAL DUELS AND GOALSCORING CHANCES<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIn international football, individual duels are important, but in this league, where there are so many direct match-ups, they\u2019re even more important. It\u2019s not just about winning your man-to-man battles, but also about winning second balls and being able to defend really well when you\u2019re protecting your goal \u2013 that\u2019s fundamental. How do you handle the emotions after creating so many chances? I try to stay realistic and objective in every situation I experience, and, at the same time, I try to be optimistic. So I look at what we did well to reach those situations, and also what we can do to make sure the final outcome is what we want. Of course, the opponent\u2019s performance often plays a big part in the final result. As for us, we try to recreate similar situations in training, building repetition that leads to improvement and, hopefully, to different results in the end.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \ufeff<\/span><\/em>FRANCO V\u00c1ZQUEZ<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWill V\u00e1zquez be marked closely? There are other players too, but we know V\u00e1zquez\u2019s qualities: his ability to produce unpredictable moments, provide assists, protect the ball, and link up with teammates both near him and further away. So we\u2019re well aware of what he can do. What we\u2019ll try to do is play to our strengths and take the game where we want it to go. It\u2019s up to his coach to decide whether he starts or not. Our focus has to be on being ready for the match, knowing that there will be different moments in the game that we\u2019ll need to manage well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE SUPPORT OF THE GIALLOBLU FANS<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201c2,500 fans giving the team a boost? What we want is to feel our supporters close to us. It\u2019ll be great to have them with us at the Zini and to feel their trust and energy. Even in Cagliari, around 300 fans came with us and really got behind us. We\u2019ll do our very best to make them proud.\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=”L\u2019ALLENATORE CARLOS CUESTA: \u201cSFRUTTIAMO I NOSTRI PUNTI DI FORZA CONTRO UNA CREMONESE ORGANIZZATA\u201d” page_og_description=”null” page_og_type=”null” page_og_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_ogs\/Cuesta_HD-047-20250920131605.webp” page_keywords=”null” page_description=”null” page_on_app=”1″ page_on_home=”1″ news_cover=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_news\/Cuesta_HD-047-20250919141412.webp” news_exclude=”[]” news_include=”[]” news_include_continent=”[]” ][swp_wrapper id=”id” order=”1″ name=”blocco 1″ option_wrapper_color=”1″ option_wrapper_image=”1″ ][swp_hero_mini id=”0″ type=”hero_mini” order=”1″ name=”hero_mini” option_header_mini=”1″ option_component_anchor=”null” option_component_padding=”[]” data_hero_title=”CARLOS CUESTA: \u201cWE\u2019LL PLAY TO OUR STRENGTHS\u201d” data_hero_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/Cuesta_HD-047-20250920131619.webp” data_hero_align_r=”1″ data_hero_align=”1″ data_hero_image_responsive=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/Cuesta_HD-047-20250920131630.webp” data_icon_image_alt=”null” ][\/swp_hero_mini][swp_base_p id=”1″ type=”base_p” […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-66563","pr_news","type-pr_news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-men-first-team","tag-prima-squadra-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
