‘Cassano treated like everyone else’

Parma boss Roberto Donadoni has insisted he will not give new signing Antonio Cassano any special treatment next season.

The controversial striker joined the Crociati from Inter just last month to much fan-fare, but the tactician has claimed that the Italy international will be treated like every other squad member.

Parma boss Roberto Donadoni has insisted he will not give new signing Antonio Cassano any special treatment next season.

The controversial striker joined the Crociati from Inter just last month to much fan-fare, but the tactician has claimed that the Italy international will be treated like every other squad member.

“When we talk about Cassano everyone says that he has to be managed well, he has to every support,” the Coach told a Press conference.

“But Antonio is not a martian – he is just a man ho needs to be treated like a normal person.

“He knows what we expect from him. We will give him the same support as everyone else.

“I think Antonio understands that this season could mark his career in the future, so we just want him to express himself and to be in the best condition possible.”
