The Italian press was full of praise for Romanian coach Cristi Chivu, who managed another game from Parma’s bench on Saturday evening in Serie A.
Parma drew with AC Torino, 2-2 in the current round of the Italian football championship, and Cristi Chivu was once again closely monitored by the peninsula journalists. The Italian press does not understand why Dennis Man was only a substitute in this match.
The Crusaders were behind on the scoreboard twice, but they always came back and secured a valuable point. Cristi Chivu was inspired. He brought on Pellegrino who scored twice and secured a point for Parma.
Dennis Man was rated 6 by Tuttomercatoweb, playing for 20 minutes towards the end. The Romanian international could be a crucial player for Parma in the fight to avoid relegation. "Twenty minutes of running and intensity for the winger. He could be Chivu's weapon in the upcoming matches," the source cited.
Currently, Chivu has a record of one win, one draw, and one loss on Parma's bench: "He did everything he could to avoid defeat. Surprise with Man being left on the bench. He chose to make a change in the second half to come back on the scoreboard and guessed the move with Pellegrino. He did everything he could to avoid defeat. A useful point after the loss against Udinese," the Italians further state.
In the standings, Parma is in 17th place with 24 points, two above the first relegation spot, but having played one more match.
