Parma manager Francesco Guidolin spoke during a press conference from the teams training camp in Malta about the upcoming match against Juventus.

“Juventus are a strong team with undeniable quality and they will be looking to get their season back on track.”

“They aren’t going to be pulling any punches and will be out to prove a point against us at the Tardini.”

Tickets for the match have all but sold out, with just under 1,000 remaining in the build up to the match on Wednesday 06 January.

Parma sports director Pietro Leonardi also spoke during the press conference about the January transfer market.

“We have no plans to upset the squad that has already done so well for us this season. Our objective is to keep the team together and as always achieve safety from relegation first and foremost.”

“The sooner we achieve that then we can aim higher in our ambitions, but it would be foolish to embark on a transfer campaign going by our current league position.”
