And finally it arrived. The first victory of 2025. A long, very long fast, of which it was difficult to see the end. At the end of a thrilling match theEmpoli takes home three vital points; returning to breathe and see a light again. A first half marked by flying balls due to a submissive game by the Parma on which the desire and courage of an Empoli capable of finding the net at the start fell.
In the second half, the fear and hope of returning to victory made the Azzurri's legs tremble, as they closed up, allowing Parma with ten men to emerge from their own back lines. "The goal conceded shows the long period of not winning, we lost a bit of serenity. We felt a bit weak in the arm but that's normal, we're a young team like Parma. When you're a team of young people, there can be readings that take you one way," he said. D'Aversa in the post-game.
Despite the goal conceded coldly, suddenly, Empoli showed determination in trying until the last available second, to stay in the game, to not get discouraged. "We did this whole period without victory without important players. If they were to ever get safety these guys would get a miracle, considering the absences we had". A group made up of very united players has ensured that the absences did not weigh substantially, as also highlighted by the Italian coach. "This is an environment that leads you to work serenely even when you are in difficulty. The fact of having a young team and having injuries I don't believe much in injuries, but this year we paid dearly for the lack of these important players".
