The Italian press wrote about Mircea Lucescu’s (79 years old) visit to Parma to inquire about Dennis Man’s (26 years old) condition.
Out of form, Dennis Man is going through a tough period and seems unable to recover. Therefore, Mircea Lucescu went to Italy to encourage him and to try to lend a helping hand to Cristi Chivu, for whom Man is an important player.
„SOS Man, Lucescu hopes he will regain form,” headlines Parma Today.
Italians claim that Man’s return to form is also among Chivu’s priorities: „Mircea Lucescu came from Romania to encourage Dennis Man. The Romanian midfielder is going through a complicated period, perhaps the worst since his arrival at Parma. It seems he has entered a vortex from which he cannot escape. He has become the target of fans, but his contribution last season in Serie B was crucial for Parma to secure promotion.
Among Cristi Chivu’s priorities is also the attempt to recover the club’s legacy, as well as that of Romania. (…) Against Como, a decisive match for Parma, Man could be a surprise card on Chivu’s table,” noted the Italians at [parmatoday.it](https://www.parmatoday.it/sport/sos-man-anche-lucescu-spera-nel-recupero.html).
