Tourè to Lead Parma's Attack as Romero Adapts to Italian Football

August 28, 2026Pablo Navarro3 мин

David Romero, the new Argentine forward recently arrived from Tigre, has officially introduced himself to Parma's fans and the press. Speaking at a press conference, Romero acknowledged the expectations placed upon him and expressed his eagerness to contribute.

"I am well aware of the expectations surrounding me. I hope to be able to play as soon as possible and showcase my qualities and enthusiasm," Romero stated. "I'm anxious to start and can't wait to score many goals."

Romero also discussed his preferred playing position and tactical fit with coach Carlos Cuesta's directives. "I like playing as a pair. I feel comfortable," he explained. "What I've observed is that it's not a standard setup in Italy, so I'll have to adapt. I believe it's up to the coach to adjust the game slightly, put me on the field, and put me in a position to attack space, while always respecting the coach's requests. I need to grow game by game; the results will follow." The article emphasizes that "El Rulo" is conscious of the need to adapt to a new playing system and the high expectations, but this will take time.

Immediate results cannot be expected from a young player new to Italian football, and his development will be a gradual process. In the interim, the responsibility of leading the attack will fall on El Bilal Tourè. The Malian striker, on loan from Atalanta with an option to buy, has shown potential to be a key player, though he still needs to build chemistry with his new teammates.

Whether through short passes against Catania or long balls against Cagliari, Tourè will focus on establishing understanding with his fellow Gialloblu players. He will hold down the forward line until Romero becomes accustomed to the rhythm of Italian football. Once Romero is integrated, the hope is that the two can form an enviable goal-scoring partnership.

English Translation:

Step by step, even Rulo will enrich the attack: in the meantime, it's up to Tourè to lead the department.

The time for David Romero is drawing near, but for now, the weight of the attack rests on El Bilal Tourè's shoulders.

In yesterday's press conference, David Romero introduced himself to the fans and journalists. After arriving a few weeks ago from Tigre, the Argentine forward spoke to the press, analyzing his transfer and the expectations placed upon him. In particular, "El Rulo" stated: "I am well aware of the expectations surrounding me. I hope that in the shortest possible time I can play and show my qualities and enthusiasm. I am eager to start, I can't wait to score many goals."

The Argentine then focused on his position on the field and his tactical preferences, which might conflict with the new directives of coach Carlos Cuesta: "I like to play in a pair. I feel comfortable. What I've been able to see is that it's not a standard situation in Italy, so I'll have to get used to it. I believe it's up to the coach to change the game a bit, put me on the field, and put me in a condition to attack space, always respecting what the coach asks of me. I have to grow game after game; the results will then come." El Rulo is well aware that he has to adapt to a new playing system and that there are many expectations on him, but everything has its time.

Everything cannot be expected immediately, especially from a young player who has just arrived from Argentina, and his growth will come step by step. In the meantime, the weight of the attack will be borne by El Bilal Tourè. The Malian, who arrived on loan with an option to buy from Atalanta, has shown that he can be an important player, even if he still needs to get in sync with his teammates. Sought with low passes against Catania and with long balls against Cagliari, Tourè will build understanding with the other Gialloblu players and will hold down the department until Romero has entered the mechanisms of Italian football, and from then on, the two will be able to create an enviable relay/goal-scoring pair (hopefully).
