For the 11th day of Serie A football, Parma-Bologna on the pitch:

The first away win, the second clean sheet of the season: with the three points from Bergamo Alberto Gilardino and Parma are smiling again, added to the good news is the fact of having left the relegation zone after a month of crisis. Among the positive news there is also the call of Mariano Troilo with the Argentine national team: he was called up by coach Scaloni for the friendlies with Uruguay and Costa Rica.

"I'm very happy to be back, I discovered it the other day after the match against Atalanta. The sporting director told me, the first person I called was my dad and then my family. They are very excited, like me" he explains in a social video.

The defender is one of the Crusader certainties together with captain Delprato and Simone Lontani, who scored the third goal against Atalanta in yellow and blue: no one scores like that at his age in Europe.

Among footballers with at least three goals scored in the five current major European championships, Lontani (born 18 January 2008) is the youngest. After the positive signs, Gila seeks confirmation in the derby with Bologna to gain ground in the safety zone before the break. Daffara confirmed in goal, Ndiaye returns to the starting line-up in defence. Bernabè out, the trio Keita, Sierro, Fabbian are ready in midfield. Tourè starts as favorite over Elphege to join Lontani in attack.

Palladino: 'We are waiting for Antonelli in Bologna to celebrate the World Cup'

"I think it is right to congratulate Kimi Antonelli, Bologna's excellence. We congratulate him and we want him to come and visit us at the sports center to celebrate, we await him with open arms". Raffaele Palladino opened the press conference on the eve of this, in view of the away match against Parma, before moving on to the pitch: "we have made giant strides. Since my arrival the objective has always been to give an identity to the team and in a month and a half we have made improvements that I didn't expect in such a short time. We still have room for improvement, but pay attention to Parma. They won in Bergamo 3-0 and we know how a victory can change your mood and outlook, we experienced it first hand. We will have to be very careful, we will have to be ready for anything."

And Odgaard will have to be ready, heading towards his fourth consecutive start in attack, despite the return of Piccoli and the presence of Dovbyk: "He's generous, he makes us play well, he's with the attacking midfielders", explained Palladino, who invites us to wait before talking about the transfer market: "Today it's too early to talk about the transfer market, safety and Europe. We just always have to reset and think about playing with everyone".
