Parma, another injury for Bernabè: out for at least 20 days

Muscle problem in the adductor of the right thigh. This is the response, after the instrumental tests, for Adrian Bernabè who, therefore, will have to remain in the pits for at least twenty days , if not more. The midfielder, injured on Saturday against Bologna right at the start of the match and who had recently recovered from a three-month stoppage, will immediately begin physiotherapy treatments to arrive at a quick recovery. A bad blow for Cristian Chivu who, on the Spanish talent, was counting a lot on improving the quality of the maneuver: against Italiano's rossoblù, instead of deploying him as a director, he had moved him to the role of right midfielder precisely to have him closer to the offensive zone. If Hernani were to be available again, that position on the field will probably be his.

The victory over Bologna has certainly brought back good humor to Parma, but the work has only just begun and Chivu is fully aware of this. The sprint to safety will be long and particularly tiring, starting with Saturday's away match in Udine. For now, the Romanian coach does not intend to overturn the tactical concepts that had been given by Fabio Pecchia: only greater attention to the defensive phase, which was certainly the weak point of the group. For this reason, instead of presenting a midfield of two, he preferred to set it up with three, with a low midfielder in front of the defense and two mezzali. In this way, the defense was also more protected and Suzuki did not run any particular risks. Chivu, who is working above all on the psychological aspect to raise the self-esteem of the group, has identified Keita as the player who can carry out the functions of the defensive midfielder. The Belgian, who had some problems settling in at the beginning of the season, has physical energy and discrete technical qualities: if disciplined, he can really be a point of reference for the team. Another player who needs to be recovered quickly is Dennis Man : he came on in the second half and provided the assist for Sohm's goal. Chivu will have to work hard to bring his compatriot back to high levels. He would be the most important purchase for Parma.
