Parma and Cagliari Serie A season preparations

Overview

Parma and Cagliari have commenced their 2026/2027 Serie A campaign, with their opening match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini resulting in a draw. Following the match, Parma manager Carlos Cuesta expressed disappointment despite his team controlling the first half through fluid movement and effective counterattacks. Cuesta noted that the squad struggled during the final thirty minutes, losing momentum and failing to recover after conceding a goal. He emphasized the necessity of addressing offensive potential ahead of a difficult upcoming fixture against Juventus.

Regarding tactical evolution, Cuesta addressed the transition necessitated by the departure of Mateo Pellegrino. He stated the team is moving toward a “more controlled, maneuvered style of build-up play,” with the goal of making the squad more versatile and capable of adapting to various match contexts while maintaining solidity. This aligns with his previous efforts to transition from a 3-5-2 defensive formation to a proactive 4-3-3 system. As the season progresses, Cuesta has emphasized that the squad requires time to evolve, noting, “Sierro will help us with his experience... We want to become more complete... but this needs time, we are not magicians.”

Ahead of Parma’s upcoming match against Como, Como manager Cesc Fàbregas addressed the media following his team’s recent 4-1 Champions League victory over Leipzig. Fàbregas emphasized the importance of channeling the energy from their European success into the domestic league to maintain focus. While noting that squad rotation will become essential after the international break, Fàbregas indicated he does not intend to make drastic changes for the Parma fixture. He also praised the development of Diao and described Martin Baturina as an “anarchic” and talented player.
