Parma coach Carlos Cuesta discusses Serie A opener and tactical shifts

Parma manager Carlos Cuesta expressed disappointment following a draw against Cagliari in the opening match of the 2025-2026 Serie A season. Cuesta noted that while the team controlled the first half with fluid movement and effective counterattacks, they struggled in the final thirty minutes, losing momentum and failing to recover after conceding a goal.

Looking ahead, Cuesta emphasized the need to address offensive potential and prepare for a difficult upcoming match against Juventus. He also discussed the tactical shift following the departure of Pellegrino, stating that the team is moving toward a more controlled, maneuvered style of build-up play. Cuesta aims to make the squad more versatile and complete, capable of adapting to different match contexts while maintaining team solidity.
