A knee injury of the worst kind for Enrico Delprato
34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Parma lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Giovanni Catanese says Parma went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Edoardo Corvi stands alone
7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The wait goes on for Parma
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A row about effort at Parma
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nesta Elphege was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Luca Scarlato wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Parma know it.

Mandela Keita told to find a new club
“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Mandela Keita has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Parma.

El Bilal Touré rescues a point for Parma
It needed El Bilal Touré to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Lazio, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Orazio Ferrara was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Parma dressing room was either.
