“It was a big effort, we made sacrifices because we were up against a side that had come here to try and win. We played the game in the right way and with the right spirit, getting a point while also trying to win it.” These were the words of Parma defender Simone Iacoponi after the 0-0 home draw against Torino today. “We weren’t able to win but the spirit was good and we’re on the right road. There was a good crowd and we have a great relationship with the fans and it has to stay that way until the end of the season. They gave us energy, it’s important and we wanted it. This draw was treated almost like a win because it came during a difficult spell. It’s a very important point for our morale and position in the table. The formation? We made some changes, I played in the middle but it’s a role I’ve occupied in the past. It’s a role that I like.”
“After the game, we all congratulated one another because it wasn’t easy against a strong team. It was difficult to end this run but we did it all together, and it’s vital that we did so as a team. We had the best chances to win through Dimarco and Gagliolo. It’s clear that they had some chances but it’s not easy to plug all the holes and keep different players quiet. “The team is in good shape apart for those guys who are injured and who will certainly come back as soon as possible. We had three games in a week and got through it in excellent shape. This is a strange moment, we got here after a difficult run and it wasn’t easy. Now, we’ve found some confidence and we need to continue with it until the end because we’re not there yet and we can keep getting points. I don’t know how far we are from being safe, when we’re mathematically safe we can all celebrate together.”
