05 May 19th Parma tied Napoli, coach Zivo and Napoli coach Conte had some conflicts at the end of the game, and were both red cards from the referee, and they would miss the coaching position on the final round. This one point is still not enough to relegate, and Parma needs to regain its outstanding performance against Atalanta in the last round to retain Serie A. Coach Ziwo commented on the draw after the game.

You once again showed your personality and courage against the giants

Zivo: "This is the best first half of strength, courage and determination since I took office. It has never been easy to face a team like Napoli, they performed well. In the second half, physical fitness declined, cramps and fatigue, we knew we had to replace people."

"We need to replace some players who played for less than an hour, and some people held on to the end with full physical strength. I mean Sika Ti. I want to praise his performance in particular, and the locker room said the same thing. It was not easy to come back after so long, and he fully showed his state in training. He also praised Leoni's performance against Lukaku, and Barrog deserves praise. "

"I don't like to emphasize individuality, but these three people completed extraordinary tests under high pressure. Especially Leoni, who has never lost all the confrontations with Lukaku, used his body and wisdom. "

The whole story of the red card incident?

Ziwo: "I am like the fool who was involved in a fight and was slapped in the face. This is indeed my fault. I reached out to separate the two sides. The referee made different interpretations. I don't know what information he received. I want to apologize to the players because I can't command on the sidelines. But I've been slapped in the past, but today I'll be beaten in the future. I will turn the other side of the face, which is not a problem."

The final match against Atlanta must get points

Ziwo: "I We knew we needed points, so it was like this for ourselves. Being able to maintain hope of relegation at this stage depends on the players' serious attitude and courage. They are in trouble but always give their all. I pay tribute to them, and there is still the last game left. We are used to staying focused every week and know that every game of Serie A is not easy."

This team responded to last week's doubts

Zivo: "This team always gives all the best for the collective, both mentally and physically , technical or tactical. They deserve respect. The club is eager to stay in Serie A and want to create history for the city. This young team understands the importance of relegation and puts down their personal pride and pursues collective progress. "

" also wants to praise the players who played with injuries today. Bernabé only trained once and still insists on playing. This spirit must be remembered. Sometimes people only look at the results, but the players are full of love for jerseys and the city and are willing to pay for relegation. Everything goes. "

The experience of veterans is also critical

Zivo: "It is not appropriate to say 'veterans', it should be said that experienced people. Relegation requires everyone, and they all contribute to the team. For example, Voliaco sat on the bench without training, tied with a bandage and prepared to play at any time, risking injury again. This team is clear about the situation and is willing to do their best to achieve their goals."

Can this performance promote the match against Atlanta?

Ziwo: "There are always ups and downs. Strictly speaking, many non-competitive factors can be identified today. But in my opinion, this team always tries its best at the individual and collective level. Sometimes success and sometimes failure, soccer is a win, draw and lose. If you only look at the loss, it will be a headache, but you must learn from it."

"We have shown our character maturity. The results of the game sometimes depend on details. We may lose unfairly, or we may encounter a fairy ball and be unable to turn the world back. The key is to maintain our fighting spirit and end the game successfully. The season achieved relegation. They deserve this ending. When the bus arrived today, the fans shocked us with their energy. "

" Yesterday someone asked me if I had something to say to the fans that no matter what the result is, this team is and will continue to repay the fans' love for this jersey. I hope that every time I come to the home court, I can be like today. Although I face countless daily difficulties, the whole team is doing their best to achieve the goal. "

Currently, Parma has 6 wins, 15 draws, 16 losses, and has 33 points, temporarily leading the relegation zone by 2 points. At 21:00 on May 25, in the last round of Serie A, Parma will challenge Atlanta away.
