In The Aftermath Of The Defeat To Sampdoria, D'Aversa Affirms Parma Needs Reinforcements

JAKARTA - Coach Roberto D'Aversa warned that Parma's 0-2 defeat to Sampdoria on Sunday night proved that the club had to intervene in the winter transfer market.

The Ducali is facing a severe injury crisis. The crisis was all the more real when their attempt in the match hit the post twice.

"This match proves the club needs to intervene in the transfer market, because we struggled even to make substitutions," D'Aversa told Sky Sport Italia on Sunday.

"Because of that, we also have to accept that we basically created goal opportunities. If we are in the bottom three, there must be a reason. We have to get rid of this mistake. "

When many said that Parma was again not playing badly, but had no luck, D'Aversa was not in the mood to accept that opinion.

“If we keep saying the same thing, accusing the results we deserve and don't get, it's not just bad luck. It's because we're not assertive enough and don't take risks. There is a fragility on a psychological level that we have to deal with. "

D'Aversa has led Parma to three successive promotions following bankruptcy and was sacked last summer, but was recalled to replace Fabio Liverani.

“I came back because together we brought Parma from Serie C to Serie A, twice securing a position at the top. Last season, we finished the same points with Fiorentina.

"I feel the need to protect and maintain what we have created here, because I feel there is something about me in this squad. It's a difficult situation, but in my years at Parma, I don't think I've ever been in a situation that wasn't difficult. "
