Parma President Tommaso Ghirardi believes his team can still avoid relegation and praised Cristiano Lucarelli's contribution.
The Gialloblu were struggling to beat the resistance of Genoa on Sunday afternoon, when a second-half header from Lucarelli set them on the path to victory.
“It's a good job I signed Lucarelli, since through him we have earned vital points,” noted the Emiliani patron.
The former Livorno striker moved to the Tardini from Shakhtar Donetsk during the January transfer window for a fee of around £4m.
He has so far scored four goals in 14 appearances, but the Crociati remain third from the bottom, one point behind Catania and two behind Reggina.
“We have done everything we could to make it harder for ourselves. Now the situation is really complicated, but on Sunday we will fight hard,” added Ghirardi.
“We gave away too many points and we cannot afford it anymore. Perhaps we overestimated ourselves and often dropped points in the last minutes.
We have done incredible things and now we have to fight until the end.” he concluded.
The last two fixtures of the season will see them facing a tough away clash to Fiorentina before hosting League leaders Inter at the Stadio Tardini.
