Parma after entering league 1: the best climber of the best championships in Europe

On the Europa League square

"Parma and the miracle", the "Gazzetta dello Sport" published Monday a report on the Parma Calcio 1913 promoted in Serie A. With the 2-1 against Sbaduolo, the "Crociati" (crossed) entered a zone of In the late '90s, the club belonged almost naturally to the club: after 13 matches, Parma was ranked 6th, between AS Roma and AC Milan, and so is the # 1 39, the most successful climber of the European leagues leading the Stade de Reims (8. in Ligue 1) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (11th in the Premier League).

That no one wants to know anything about the Cup of Emilia Romagna Cup club in Europe is all too understandable. "We can not take off," sports director Daniele Faggiano told Radio Marte recently. "Our goal is always the league, despite our table, we keep our feet on the ground." For, even though Parma had managed to move from Serie D to Serie Historia in Italian football, about four years ago, the club was practically dead.

"The department store is closing," said a report from TM in March 2015. Previously, the club's former boss, Tommaso Ghirardi Parma, had been driven to ruin with a curious transfer model. For the 2014/15 season, there were 181 entries and 205 retirements, including returning tenants. The principle of participation then still popular in Italy in player transfers was abolished at the end of the season – also to prevent another case, Parma.

Under the presidency of the legendary coach Nevio Scala, winner of the 1993 and 1995 European Cup, founded the then insolvent FC Parma, under the name of Parma Calcio 1913. The money was collected by a coalition of local businessmen, who transferred ten percent of their shares directly to the company "Parma Partecipazioni Calcistiche", which had been created by club fans to prevent a similar development in Ghirardi .

Icon of the club, Luigi Apolloni took the reins of a brand new team. Since Serie A, only defender Alessandro Lucarelli was available. The 41-year-old had in the following years a considerable share of the march of Parma, which ended in the summer of 2018 after his return to the House of Lords – a promise fulfilled for him – his career.

The advantage of location with supporters loyal to the home Ennio Tardini Stadium Parma has always played in the lower leagues: Still in the D or C series, the club has sold about 10,000 season tickets, although more than any other club. Especially with experienced players like Lucarelli, striker Emanuele Calaiò (36), suspended until the end of the year because of manipulation allegations, or the midfielder Matteo Scozzarella (30), and Gianni Munari (35 years old), a promotion ensues.

The successor of Apolloni as a coach is a big part of that. Ex-Stuttgart professional Roberto D & Aversa (pictured) took over the club in December 2016 in third division at number 8, placing him immediately on the front row and in the playoffs of the B-Series. Parma, completely renewed, with a 2: 0 on Spezia on the last day of the match, the jump on the spot of direct promotion.

The 43-year-old is considered a talented coach in Italy. After only a year and a half less success with Parma Lanciano (2014-2016), Parma is only at its second stop. An average point of 1.8 in 84 games speaks for itself.

Above all, D & Aversa's tactical flexibility is particularly appreciated: at the 3: 1 in Genoa in early October, his team, led by current top scorer, Gervinho (31), played some nice offensive attacks and scored three goals in just 14 minutes. Against the game, Sbaduolo however put D & # 39; Aversa on the pressure and the good use of the chances of his team. Parma had only 26% possession against Neroverdi, but he scored twice.

Even nominally much stronger opponents are at the root of many problems at Gialloblu, whether it's Inter (1: 0) or Juventus (1: 2). . Weaker appearances such as against Lazio (0-2) or Atalanta (0-3) did not lead to longer-term setbacks.

"What a heart, what a team of warriors," wrote captain and defenseman Bruno Alves, 37, also succeeding Lucarelli, after the victory of the weekend on Instagram. The Portuguese European champions had recently scored the winning goal, his first goal for his new club.

"We are there now because of our interpretation of the games," said Aversa at the press conference following Sbaduolo's match. "But most of all, it's the way the boys internalize the training.They have been working hard over the last two weeks and it's a great reward for a coach." The result of the game is the consequence of this work. "

This weekend, Parma will face Milan in San Siro and could replace the Rossoneri with a victory of 5th place. The claim to appear in the table at the "Crociati" currently has none. However, as long as Parma is the best newcomer to the best European leagues, he can keep the team with star player Gervinho, who told the Guardian: "Relegation is always our most important goal. we will see if we can realize other important dreams.
