PARMA- The Gervinho case was resolved with a fine and with the return of the player on the field. Never was a better choice, Parma won 1 to 0 against Sassuolo, with a goal by Gervinho, and reached Verona in sixth place in the standings, less than four lengths from Rome. In short, Parma, against all odds, is in progress for a place in the Europa League.
Parma, Gervinho returns and makes the difference. D'Aversa: "We have an important ranking".
"We have an important classification, having won does not change the goals we have set ourselves, but we watch race after race and in the end we will do the math." Parma coach Roberto D'Aversa is satisfied mainly because his team, who beat Sassuolo in Reggio Emilia, has been able to react to the many absences. Thanks also to Gervinho's return: "He was good at being ready, and nobody ever put him aside: I said on the eve that we had to reset everything and start again," said the coach.
The Sassuolo manager, Roberto De Zerbi, believes that defeat against Parma is undeserved: “There are games in which you propose, create opportunities, mistakes due to inaccuracy and bad luck, but you lose. But my team did what they did – said the coach -. I am proud of my players. We didn't deserve to lose.
I don't want to talk about the referee Mariani ”.
