Parma: Heart of a Lion – Great Against the Great

Neopromoted this season in Serie A, Parma is working well and consistently, even against the big teams. Soon they will face a tough challenge: Inter.
Recently they were hit by a major injury: the Achilles tendon tear of Charpentier. Yet Parma is experiencing a very positive period and is proving to be one of the “smaller” teams capable of competing with the big ones.
This is evident in their clear victories against Milan (2-1) and Lazio (3-1), as well as their draws against Juventus (2-2) and Fiorentina (1-1): Parma, back in Serie A for the first time since 2020-21, can measure up against the big teams.
Now they face a formidable obstacle: Simone Inzaghi’s Inter, currently in third place in the standings behind Napoli and Atalanta. But they promise to put up a fight and should not be underestimated.
Parma, a team of youngsters
The age of the players in the squad speaks for itself: Parma is the youngest team in Serie A and can rely on the constant contribution of many youngsters born from 2000 onwards. The average age of the players is very low: just 23 years and 6 months, making them the third youngest team in Europe after Strasbourg and PSG.
And the young players from the Emilian club are also attracting interest from other clubs.
Parma, young players who are special targets of the transfer market
There is a duo of very young central defenders who are catching the eye: referring to the 2002-born Balogh and the 2006-born Leoni, whom coach Pecchia is strongly backing.
The first is also liked in the Premier League, the second was a possible target of Inter and Napoli. In goal, the 22-year-old Japanese Suzuki was a target of Chelsea.
The 2003-born Bonny is highly rated, with Napoli keeping an eye on him as he has scored 4 goals and provided an assist in the league. And let’s not forget the 19-year-old right winger Anas Haj Mohamed, who made his Serie A debut against Lazio causing trouble for Provedel. And scoring a beautiful goal.

Will Franco Israel be guarding the goal in Torino-Genoa?
Views: 18
Doubt in Torino. Franco Israel’s conditions could make him miss the match against Genoa. The match will take place at 12:30.
The goalkeeper of Torino is in serious doubt for the match against Genoa; the trauma to his right rib, suffered in the match against Napoli, does not seem to have fully healed.
During the match against Napoli, the goalkeeper received a nasty blow which was then evaluated by the medical staff of the granata. The result: the goalkeeper was unable to complete his normal weekly preparation and, for this reason, does not seem to be included in the lineup of twelve against the Grifoni.
Today, however, we await the official medical report on the condition of the twenty-five-year-old Uruguayan.
If the results are not positive for Franco Israel, then it will be the turn of his substitute Paleari.
Torino, currently in 15th place in the Serie A standings, is waiting for the official results of the goalkeeper Israel’s physical condition.

What happened to the Torino goalkeeper and what to expect in the coming hours
The player received a blow during the match against Napoli (in which the granata won 1-0 against the Neapolitan team). A joy broken by the injury that appeared, from the very beginning, quite serious.
To worsen the mood of the Turin club, the player’s absence in the weekly training session (to prepare for the match against the Ligurians) and, therefore, rumors about his health status have increased.
This absence itself would suggest, regardless of the verdict, that the goalkeeper will be absent on the field tomorrow, Sunday, October 26, but what is most breath-taking is the medical report.
Genoa, the team that is bottom of the Serie A standings, could take advantage of this forced stop to try and secure three much-needed points. At this point in the season, in fact, the Ligurians must try to drastically change their fate, otherwise a future relegation seems more than likely.
The team of Marco Baroni must instead keep their eyes on the horizon and not lose concentration in order to continue to stay in the middle of the table and then, who knows, even try to climb up the ranks.

Milan, Modric: “A big shame, we threw away 2 points”

AC Milan midfielder Luka Modric commented on the bitter 2-2 draw against Pisa in a press conference.

Milan, Modric’s words
MILAN-PISA 2-2
“We expected this match, they came to defend and make our lives difficult. It’s our fault if we didn’t win: we didn’t do enough to win the game. We lost two important points today. These home games, with all due respect to Pisa, you have to win them.”
TIGHT MARKING?
“It’s fair, I have to adapt. We need to play better overall: we did some good things, created many chances but didn’t score. But I have to adapt for the rest.”
APPROACH
“We should have killed the game in the first half. We played well, but only scored one goal. We started the second half sluggishly, then there was the unfortunate penalty and goal. But that’s football, that’s why it’s beautiful: even if you’re stronger and deserve to win, anything can happen. We are sad and angry for losing two valuable points.”

We made mistakes, we need to reflect. However, Pisa played their game
Views: 30
AC Milan waste a great opportunity to consolidate their lead: from 1-0 to 1-2, they need the final minutes to avoid a sensational defeat. The risk of losing the top spot for Milan is now concrete.
It was supposed to be a quiet evening for the Rossoneri, an opportunity to strengthen their first place in the standings and face the midweek round with serenity. Instead, against a brave Pisa, the Rossoneri complicate their lives and have to thank Athekame, the author of the 2-2 in injury time, for avoiding an embarrassing loss.
AC Milan-Pisa 2-2: match analysis
The match started off on the right foot thanks to Leao’s goal after just seven minutes. But Allegri’s team, instead of closing the game, relaxed, showing presumption and lacking ruthlessness in front of goal. In the first half, Milan controlled but did not score, and Pisa stayed in the game.

In the second half, Gilardino played his trump card: Cuadrado’s entry changed everything. The Colombian won and scored the penalty for 1-1, his eighth goal in career against the Rossoneri, then inspired the counterattack that led Nzola to the sensational 2-1. Milan, confused and lacking clarity, tried to react, with Leao hitting the crossbar, Nkunku wasting a possible lead.
Only in injury time did the equalizer come, signed by Athekame, avoiding a heavy defeat but not erasing the bitterness. Perhaps the Rossoneri paid for their lack of respect for the opponent, just as Allegri had warned before the start of the match.
A necessary reality check, because on Tuesday in Bergamo Milan risks not showing up as the league leaders.
