Even Parma, as Cagliari did in a sumptuous way on Tuesday, is preparing to support the Crusaders in view of the second leg playoff semi-final.
At the "Tardini" the only sector where tickets are still available is the local Curva Sud (the purchase of tickets in this sector is prohibited for residents of Cagliari and its province): in the end, if not exactly with the sold-out, the stadium should be packed with around 20,000 spectators.
Of these, only in the away sector, there will be 1,300 in the away sector. But there will be many rossoblù fans in the other sectors of the stadium as well.
From Parma there are rumors of a fermenting fan base. Fabio Pecchia, the coach of the ducals, calls the city together with an invitation to unity, almost a political message for redemption. «I'm absolutely convinced that my team will put in a great performance , then at the end of the match we'll see each other later: if they've been better than us, I'll congratulate the boss , Claudio Ranieri, and the guys on the opponents. Today I feel like giving this clear message to everyone, it's nice to meet in this moment and it's nice to do it all together". On social media, midfielder Woyo Coulibaly increases the dose: “A weekend of war is approaching, that's enough! Come on Parma”.
As for the team, there is the risk that the soreness in the calf will cut the goalkeeper, Gigi Buffon, out of the match . We'll see when the squad is released but, barring a last-minute recovery, Domus' could have been the last game in a Parma shirt. In goal, at the "Tardini", in case Chichizola should be deployed. Instead, it should be from the Camara match, who was absent in Cagliari due to disqualification.
At the Collecchio Training Center today the team did a warm-up, tactical exercises for departments and a game on a reduced field and dead balls. Finishing tomorrow.
