Parma coach Fabio Pecchia previews Roma match
Parma head coach Fabio Pecchia attended his pre-match presser ahead of Sunday's fixture with Roma.
'We are going through a difficult moment,' said the Italian technician. 'Evidently what we are doing is not enough to win matches.'
'We are facing a team of European dimensions, they were close to winning against Porto on Thursday.'
'Roma have technical depth and the right mentality. In the first leg it was one of the few games where we did too little and lost too easily.'
'Tomorrow on the pitch, in addition to the tactical and technical aspect, something more is needed.'
'Roma is beautiful to watch, they know how to create intensity and have quality. I would steal Angeliño from them, given that he is a player who can do both phases with energy and continuity. It would be too easy to say Dybala, Hummels and Paredes.'

Premier League 'under strain' despite record £6.3 bn revenues
Fan protests over rising ticket prices have become commonplace in the Premier League (Oli SCARFF) The combined revenue of Premier League clubs rose to a record £6.3 billion ($8.5 billion, 7.5 billion euros) in the 2023/24 season, but fan unrest and worsening competitive balance are cause for concern, according to financial experts Deloitte. The rise in income for England's 20 top-flight clubs was fuelled by commercial income surpassing £2 billion for the first time and a rise in matchday revenue beyond £900 million. Advertisement English clubs continue to enjoy a huge financial advantage over their European rivals. Spain's La Liga, the second highest revenue-generating league, earned just over half that amount at 3.8 billion euros, almost 50 percent of which came from Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, fan protests have become a common sight at Premier League stadiums over rising ticket prices and the squeezing out of local supporters to make way for more tourists willing to spend more for a special matchday experience. "There can be no doubt that the system in English football is under strain," said Tim Bridge, the lead partner in the Deloitte Sports Business Group. Advertisement "Repeated reports of fan unrest at ticket price and accessibility demonstrate the challenge in the modern era of balancing commercial growth with the historic essence of a football club's role and position in society: as a community asset." There is also uncertainty over the implications of an incoming independent regulator for England's top five leagues. And for the past two seasons, all three promoted clubs from the Championship have been immediately relegated back to the second tier. "The financial implications of the 'yo-yo effect' on clubs, their spending, and overall competitiveness are major factors to address in order to continue attracting high levels of investment across the system," added Bridge in Deloitte's Annual Review of Football Finance. Advertisement Total revenue of European clubs rose by eight percent in the 2023/24 campaign to 38 billion euros, boosted by increased commercial revenue and stadium developments. The women's game also continues to grow commercially, particularly in England's Women's Super League (WSL). Collective revenues in the WSL rose 34 percent to £65 million in 2023/24 and are projected to reach £100 million in the upcoming season. kca/nf
