After the Men's First Team's 2-0 win over Parma on Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 Serie A season, coach Luciano Spalletti, Guglielmo Vicario, and Nico Gonzalez shared their thoughts.
LUCIANO SPALLETTI
"I really liked how we played, both in the first and second halves. We weren't great at finding the right space for triangles to get shots off, and then we were a little disorganised in the box. We put in a lot of crosses without finding that decisive play. But, we played well and with a clear objective, with quality in our play, and constant pressure that let us spend a lot of time in their half. Of course, you need to find that decisiveness as well, you need to anticipate, and to have the quality to capitalise on the work done. We probably weren't precise enough to trouble them more, but we created a lot of chances.
"[Randal] Kolo Muani can play on his own or with a strike partner. He's quick, skilled, and has a lot of quality. He needs to be more ruthless in certain situations because he has everything it takes to make a difference. He knows how to create space for himself and I think, in all, he played well today."
GUGLIELMO VICARIO
"I was feeling a lot, as I've already said it's a dream that's being realised for me. Now we need to go again with enthusiasm, humility and balance. It's a good night for me, and for the team. Winning is never a given, it's what we work for, but we have to respect our opponent and they're always tough, so this win today was earned. We'll be back to work tomorrow [Sunday], so there's no time to rest on our laurels. We'll be back to work right away with next Sunday in mind."
NICO GONZALEZ
"I'm happy for the team, we've been working well all week as well. We prepared well for today. I'm happy for the fans, and because I scored and we won."
