Speaking ahead of the Lazio-Parma match, which ended in a 2-2 draw, former player and current commentator Emanuele Giaccherini shared details from a recent conversation. Giaccherini had spoken with Antonio Gagliardi, who serves as assistant coach to Cristian Chivu at Parma.
According to Giaccherini, Gagliardi highly praised Parma defender Pellegrino, specifically highlighting his effectiveness within the penalty area. Gagliardi revealed that the staff at Parma have been particularly impressed by Pellegrino`s jumping ability, pointing to his goal against Juventus as a prime example. They also noted the player`s significant physical strength and his skill in finding good defensive positions. While acknowledging that Pellegrino needs to work on his quickness, Gagliardi added that the defender is very capable of attacking space and possesses good power or stamina.
