Naples, Wednesday 14 January 2026<\/em> \u2013 Head Coach Carlos<\/strong> Cuesta’s<\/strong> remarks following Napoli vs Parma, the Serie A Matchday 16 fixture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt was a very difficult match and we knew going in just how tough the opposition would be. Still, I was convinced the team were ready to put in a strong performance and get a result. I\u2019m really pleased with the players\u2019 willingness to sacrifice and with the quality of our defending \u2014 there are so many positives to take.<\/em><\/p>\n Of course, we\u2019d like to win the ball back higher up the pitch, but that\u2019s not always easy against sides like this. At the heart of any success there\u2019s hard work, a lot of hard work, and a strong team spirit, and that\u2019s something the players showed tonight.<\/em><\/p>\n The result comes from the performance, and that can be judged in different ways. We were solid: we stayed compact, knew when to absorb pressure, and that comes from the strength of the group. We also managed to create some danger, even if perhaps not as much as we\u2019d have liked.<\/em><\/p>\n As for the team selection, there are players who are ready and others who are just as ready but didn\u2019t play \u2014 like Djuri\u0107 and Cremaschi \u2014 and they deserve minutes too. In the end, you have to make choices. You can\u2019t play everyone, even when they deserve it. For me, that\u2019s the real strength of this group: spirit and solidity. The points came from that spirit, the willingness to sacrifice and give everything. The players are the ones who go out there and put in performances that add real value to the team.<\/em><\/p>\n Rinaldi? Pippo played very well and fully deserved what he experienced today. Now our focus has to shift to Sunday, because we need to take points from that game. We\u2019re still a long way from where we want to be, and we\u2019re aiming to raise our level even further.\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: \u201cLO SPIRITO DI SQUADRA \u00c8 LA NOSTRA FORZA\u201d” page_og_description=”null” page_og_type=”null” page_og_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_ogs\/AC8_7413-20260114223757.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_7413-20260114223810.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: \u201cTEAM SPIRIT WAS OUR STRENGTH\u201d” data_hero_image=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/AC8_7413-20260114223828.webp” data_hero_align_r=”1″ data_hero_align=”1″ data_hero_image_responsive=”https:\/\/www.parmacalcio1913.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/_heros\/AC8_7413-20260114223839.webp” data_icon_image_alt=”null” ][\/swp_hero_mini][swp_base_p id=”1″ type=”base_p” order=”2″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-74374","pr_news","type-pr_news","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-men-first-team","tag-prima-squadra-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
