The manager dismisses criticism of his goalkeeper

Parma manager Carlos Cuesta spoke to Sky following the defeat away to Torino on matchday 29 of the league season: 

“There were two incidents that shaped the start of the match: the goal and Cremaschi’s injury. Our reaction was positive and we equalised, creating further chances. Then, in the second half, there were two more incidents within a minute that turned the game on its head, and we were unable to respond. We must stick together; from tomorrow, we’ll already be thinking about Cremonese.”

  • METABOLISE

    "It’s not that we’re not working hard; we’re focusing on that too. We’ve still got a lot to do: we need to pick up points to reach our target. Through top-class performances and hard work. Now we need to process and analyse this defeat, which we didn’t want, so we can get back on the pitch next Saturday."

  • SUZUKI'S MISTAKE ON THE WAY BACK

    "Corvi has had a very, very positive impact and has been crucial, just as Suzuki was in the past. We make our decisions based on merit; we know what Zion has done for us – he played for 10 minutes on the day of his injury with a finger fractured in 37 places and a broken scaphoid. He has given his all for Parma; he has given his life for the club. We know him, and we know what he will always be able to give us."
