Collecchio, 2 January 2026<\/em>– Statements from head coach Carlos Cuesta during the press conference ahead of the game against Sassuolo in matchday 18 of Serie A Enilive, held in the press room at the Mutti Training Centre in Collecchio.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE TEAM\u2019S CONDITION<\/strong><\/p>\n Delprato continued training with his personalised programme until yesterday, which was his first full session with the squad. Today, we\u2019ll also assess a few players who have been dealing with the flu and other minor issues that have prevented us from training as a full group to determine who will be available for the match. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE OPPONENT<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘Sassuolo are a well-balanced team that can hold possession and press down the wings. The league rankings speak for themselves: they play high-level football and are excellent at attacking space. Ideally, we want to win the ball back as quickly as possible and keep it. There will be moments when we can\u2019t press high, and we will need to stay compact. We have to do well in different situations, both in and out of possession, and act with strategy and composure.’ <\/p>\n <\/p>\n CONSISTENCY<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘We wanted to build consistency in our results against Udinese and Lazio, but that didn\u2019t happen. We\u2019re keen to keep improving: tomorrow we\u2019ll go into the game with focus and determination to play our game and give our best.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE TRANSFER MARKET<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWith so many games coming up, we\u2019ll need everyone. Every player in my squad is important and will continue to be. I\u2019m fully aligned with the Club and entirely focused on the present.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BENEDYCZAK AND S\u00d8RENSEN<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘Benedyczak brings a lot to the team physically, mentally, and tactically. He\u2019s a versatile player who knows how to exploit space, win duels, and score goals. He\u2019s got a lot of potential that we want to develop further so he can become an even more important player for us. As for S\u00f8rensen, he deserved to play against Fiorentina; he trained hard, worked well, and put on an incredible display.’ <\/p>\n <\/p>\n BERNAB\u00c9<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘Analysing the build-up to the goal against Fiorentina, Bernab\u00e9 had a crucial role. He\u2019s vital both in the build-up phase and further up the pitch. He has a lot of potential to fulfill, and we\u2019re working to make sure he\u2019s always in the best conditions to perform.’ <\/p>\n <\/p>\n HARD WORK AND GROWTH<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe way we\u2019re working is good, but it isn\u2019t enough on its own, and it\u2019s important to recognise the progress we\u2019re making. Every day, through hard work and dedication, we try to let our performances on the pitch speak for themselves. We do everything with the intention of doing our best in matches. The right mindset is key, and every game must be approached with that level of focus, whether it\u2019s a direct clash or not, and tomorrow we\u2019ll do everything possible to make that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TRAINING AND INSPIRATION<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cRegardless of the holiday, we trained yesterday. There\u2019s no time to stop, and we have to make the most of every day. I met Engineer Dallara a little over a month ago, and what he has accomplished is amazing and a reflection of who he is. He has a lot of passion and drive; learning from him and spending time together is an honour and a source of inspiration.’<\/p>\n <\/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’ALLENATORE CARLOS CUESTA: \u201cATTENZIONE, COMPATTEZZA E VOLONT\u00c0 DI FARE IL NOSTRO GIOCO\u201d” page_og_description=”null” page_og_type=”null” page_og_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_ogs\/Cuesta_2410_HD-027-20260102101838.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_2410_HD-027-20260102101848.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=”COACH CARLOS CUESTA: \u201cFOCUS, SOLIDITY, AND PLAYING OUR GAME\u201d” data_hero_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/Cuesta_2410_HD-027-20260102101902.webp” data_hero_align_r=”1″ data_hero_align=”1″ data_hero_image_responsive=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/Cuesta_2410_HD-027-20260102101913.webp” data_icon_image_alt=”null” ][\/swp_hero_mini][swp_base_p id=”1″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-73713","pr_news","type-pr_news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-men-first-team","tag-prima-squadra-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
