All the efforts had paid off with two days left in the cadet championship. Now, even numbers give reason to Parma: the prestigious yellow-blue club returns to Serie A and does so after three years of absence from the most important stage. The draw obtained at the San Nicola stadium against Bari was decisive. A 1-1 draw that allowed Fabio Pecchia's lineup to fly in the top division, at the end of a championship (there are still two rounds left, however) that has always seen it as a protagonist. Truly a frantic run that of Parma, first in the standings uninterruptedly since the tenth day, since when it then began to press further on the accelerator, never stopping and leaving behind all opponents. For the so-called Ducali, who find themselves back in Serie A after more than 1,000 days, it has thus been a triumphant run in which they have suffered just four defeats and have distinguished themselves so far by collecting 74 points, with as many as 21 victories built with class and personality on the field. After the final whistle in Bari, also thanks to Venezia's crushing defeat in Catanzaro, celebrations could finally break out in Parma. The quiet Emilian city thus suddenly lit up and started celebrating in the rain, waiting for the collective embrace to the team, which will materialize in an official way next Sunday at the Tardini stadium, in the match against Cremonese. Among the protagonists of the triumph undoubtedly the American ownership of the club, led by President Kyle Krause, who, before going to Piazza Garibaldi with all the architects of the feat, declared, "Just one word to define the promotion: beautiful." A few, heartfelt words that were enough to trigger an ovation from the fans: "President take us to Europe!" - Parma supporters shouted at him - who now dream of a prestigious return to the past.
