Reggio Emilia, 3 January 2026 <\/em>– Carlos Cuesta<\/strong> spoke after the game against Sassuolo, on Matchday 18 of Serie A. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘There were many different phases during the match, and almost several different matches within the game itself. In the first half we had more possession, we managed to progress better and often got into the opposition’s half, but at the same time on the counter we could suffer against players like Pinamonti and Laurient\u00e9. In the second half we sat deeper for the first 20 minutes and weren\u2019t able to press Sassuolo. We also struggled to keep the ball when we won it back, although it\u2019s true that they didn\u2019t manage to create chances either. When we did manage the ball better, though, we had situations that could have led to a win. It was a balanced match. We take the point and the consistency of positive results, but now our focus turns to Inter. I assess the game with both positives and negatives. We wanted to win it, and in terms of the number of chances created we came close, situations that could have caused problems for their goalkeeper. At the same time, we know there are many things we still need to improve to increase those chances. I can see progress in our build-up play, as well as in the number of goal-scoring opportunities we\u2019re creating. There has also been improvement in how we manage different phases of the match, like in the final 20 minutes. But there are still areas in which we can do better, and we\u2019ll do everything we can to make that happen quickly. We\u2019re playing better, but we still need to improve to be where we want to be. Mandela Keita? At times he did very well, at others he needs to improve. We want consistency in performance. In the first half we took a risk after losing the ball, but we\u2019re really happy with his personality, his desire to learn every day and the help he gives the team. At the same time, he knows he can do better, and he will. Everyone is ready to make a big contribution to the team. Those who were on the bench today can do so as well and I\u2019m convinced of that. As for individuals, Delprato trained little with the team ahead of a high-level match against an opponent like Laurient\u00e9, but he\u2019s always willing to give everything. Mandela showed his personality in the second half, doing better than in the first, and that\u2019s positive. We know his potential and I\u2019m convinced he can give even more.<\/em><\/p>\n The same goes for Mateo (Pellegrino), who is an example of hard work and professionalism. But it\u2019s about everyone\u2019s attitude. I could talk about all the players, not just those three. I\u2019m also sorry about those who were eager to come on but didn\u2019t get the chance; I know they\u2019ll make a big contribution when called upon. One thing I\u2019ve learned in life is to appreciate things, so today I appreciate the point. But at the same time I\u2019m ambitious and always try to win, as a team and as staff. It\u2019s important to have that balance.’<\/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: \u201cCI SIAMO ADATTATI AI MOMENTI, UNA GRANDE PROVA DA SQUADRA\u201d” page_og_description=”null” page_og_type=”null” page_og_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_ogs\/AC8_4770-20251227132911.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\/AC8_4770-20251227132920.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=”HEAD COACH CARLOS CUESTA: \u201dI’LL TAKE THE POINT, BUT WE COULD HAVE WON\u201d” data_hero_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/AC8_5141-scaled-20260103171722.webp” data_hero_align_r=”1″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-73827","pr_news","type-pr_news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-men-first-team","tag-prima-squadra-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
