In my new series for 'Solo Parma' I aim to introduce the new key members of Parma Calcio 1913 in our bid to get back to the top. First up is new number one goalkeeper Kristaps Zommers, I chatted with the young Latvian in order to find out a bit more about our new custodian, discussing his achievements, what life’s like in Parma and how one day he hopes to line up at the Tardini with Parma back in Serie A. Name: Kristaps Zommers Date of Birth: January 7th 1997 Age: 18 Position: Goalkeeper Nationality: Latvian Date Joined: 06th August 2015 Previous Clubs: Sitika Futbola Skola, Aarhus GF Question: After all the drama last season, with the team being forced to reform in Serie D, why did you choose Parma? Kristaps Zommers: “I chose Parma because I know here it will be a great environment for me to play my football, develop and grow as a footballer” Question: As a fellow goalkeeper as well as a Parma fan, you are practically living my dream, my hero and inspiration has always been the great Gianluigi Buffon, who is your inspiration? KZ: “I have no inspiration, I don’t try to look at others, I always want to be myself” Question: It has been an almost perfect start to the season so far, can Parma return to the top again? KZ: “Yes, we definitely can, it will be hard, there is a long road ahead of us and we have a lot of hard work to put in before we achieve this” Question: What is your biggest achievement in football so far? KZ: “My biggest achievement in football is to qualify with the Latvia under 17’s to the European Championships group stage” Question: What is the best advice you’ve ever been given? KZ: “The best advice? Never change, always be yourself” Question: What is the best thing about life in Parma?
KZ: “Easy, The fans..” Question: What would be your ultimate achievement?
