It’s not hugely important for me to score but rather to help the team pick up points and hone in on our objective, giving our all constantly to avoid relegation.” This was what Parma captain Bruno Alves had to say after Saturday’s draw with Milan: “As a defender, my primary job is to avoid conceding, but I’m very pleased to have helped the team secure this draw. It’s an important point because Serie A is a difficult league, although this result pushes us towards our objective. The hug with the Coach after my goal? The relationship with the Coach is very important, especially in games like this. A Coach always deserves our commitment out on the pitch. There’s cohesion within this united group and we’re happy about this. Obviously, three points would’ve been better than just one. However, at this moment in time, we must focus on the performance. We put in a really important display – one that helps us become increasingly aware of our abilities and gives us confidence for the rest of the season.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player but there aren’t any comparisons. I was disappointed to see Juventus go out of the Champions League because the whole world deserves to see Cristiano Ronaldo star. I’m only focused on improving myself. It’s true that we’ve been missing some players, such as Inglese, Gervinho and myself. However, the group has kept growing and this is very important at this stage of the season.”
