Roberto Donadoni insists he has not lost the support of the Parma dressing room, as he calls on them to show ‘ferocity’ against Sassuolo.

The Ducali descended to the bottom of Serie A following last week’s 1-0 defeat to Atalanta, courtesy of a late Richmond Boakye goal, prompting fans to ask to talk with the players after the game.

However, on from Tommaso Ghirardi playing that incident down, the Coach has made clear everyone at the club is pulling in the same direction still.

“It's been a delicate week. I wouldn’t call the meeting in Bergamo a dispute,” Donadoni has told reporters in his Press conference ahead of tomorrow’s home match with Sassuolo.

“It’s a difficult time for us and these signals must give us the strength to be able to turn elsewhere.

“It is normal that there is discontent when things go wrong and for that we are sorry. The meeting with the fans, however, has been proper.”

Donadoni turned his attention to tomorrow’s match, which is a meeting with the team sat directly above them in 19th.

“The squad is behind me, I am convinced of this. We are going to play against a team that has always maintained an attacking trident but, like us, struggle for bread.

“Sassuolo have invested a lot in good players, but we are only focused on ourselves in this moment.

“We will give everything to recover our position in the table, for Parma this is a fundamental game and we will need ferocity.

“It’s important that we get a result, so we take ourselves off the hook. I hope there aren’t any more injuries.

“I'm thinking about a back four, it’s a possibility. [Sassuolo] play like us, to score points, but we need to move up the table and win.

“Regardless of the formation, we need to be strong and show an competitive streak in our play. We must be convinced by what we do.

“Individual errors have cost us dearly, so we must work on that department and not be afraid of making mistakes.

“We must do things simply, not over-think things because then everything becomes more complicated.

“If we look at the table, it doesn’t solve anything. We need both the performance and the result, no-one likes being bottom.

“We must have the strength and courage to not want to accept this and to react. Our approach has always been excellent, our only mistake has been in the mental strength.”
