Here's the lineup (with ages). Do you realize we have only one starting player over the age of 25! Frey S. ... 24 Bonera D. .... 23 Bovo C. ..... 21 Cannavaro P. ... 23 Potenza A. ... 20 Bolano J. ... 27 (and not much over, either) Grella V. .... 24 Marchionni M. .... 24 Bresciano M. ..... 24 Maccarone M. ....... 25 Gilardino A. ...... 22 Average age: 23.4! 4-2-3-1 with Maccarone playing in the trio behind Gilardino. FORZA PARMA!
So, we're doing great. 1-0 down inside 15 minutes, 1 man down within 30. Di Natale scores on 14, Bonera red carded (2nd yellow) on 29.
Actually the score was 4-0. Udinese: 4 Parma: 0 Natale 14', Jankulovski(pen.) 74', Michele 76', Fava 90'
Actually, when I wrote "game over" the score was 3-0. I didn't mean that it was full-time (check the time-stamp), I just meant the contest was over. "You can't win now't with kids!"
I just saw highlights on FSW. Pretty bad. The first goal is Frey's fault, mostly. Bonera tackles the ball away from the Udinese forward, but straight to Di Natale who one-times his shot from 25 yards out on the left into a basically empty net, as Frey had charged out to the edge of the box to close down the forward, who Bonera had covered... Didn't show the red card, but as it's two yellows, we probably can't complain. The 2nd goal looked like a pretty stupid penalty. Grella tackled Pizarro in the box, and shouldn't have reached in. Stupid on Grella, because there were defenders in front of Pizarro. 3rd goal was a long ball and di Michele chips Frey one-on-one. 4th goal pretty sloppy, but does it really matter at that point...
Well is this result poor start of Parma or we hit a crisis over here losing 4/0 is bad as it is, even though i didnt wach a game from i could see it was poor defense in display, some simple mistake in defense, Bonera conceding 2 yellow cards, that tells me he couldnt marka player and grella giving penalty. I hope this will come to an end, and on wednesday i`d love to see Gila scoring and defense not allowing any goals.
