After returning to Serie A last season, Parma are confirming themselves at the top level in Italian football during this campaign as they find themselves eight points above the relegation zone. One of the club's managers Alessandro Lucarelli described the team's strengths to Parma TV:"We have a solid group that reacts in the best way possible to difficult moments. I hope and I'm convinced that we won't struggle like we did in second half of last season"
Lucarelli was asked about the club's breakout players Dejan Kulusevski who has already been linked to multiple big clubs:"He will certainly stay with us until the end of the season. He's a very young player who shouldn't read what is being written about him. Too much praise can make you decrease the level of your performances. He needs to be doing what he's done so far".
