In the next two games, Parma sent out all the substitutes and focused on training.
They did not have too many requirements for the results, just let everything go with the flow.
They beat Trana 2-0 and lost to Cesena 1-2, which broke its unbeaten record.
When the time came to May 12, 2018, Alessandro also ushered in a special day.
This is Parma's last home game this season, and it is also the last home game Alessandro has experienced as a player.
Three days ago, he announced that he would retire after the end of this season and end his playing career.
After helping the team return to Serie A, his playing career has no regrets.
And this game will also be his farewell game with the home fans, so the tickets for this game have been sold out.
In the player tunnel, Alessandro also accepted the hugs and greetings from the opposing players.
This game is Parma vs. Bari. For Parma, there is no requirement for the results in this game, but for Bari, they still need to fight for the ranking of the play-offs.
Since the points gap between the third to eighth teams this year is not large, it is almost certain that there will be six teams participating in the play-offs of Serie B.
The teams ranked fifth to eighth will first fight against each other, and the winner will have the opportunity to challenge the third and fourth teams.
Now Bari is ranked sixth. If they win this game, they may rush to the fourth position and escape the first round of games.
So they must fight this game.
However, although Parma does not have the requirement to win, this is Alessandro's farewell home game, and the Parma team naturally does not want him to be sad.
So in this game, Parma almost sent all the main players.
And Matteo also started the game. He and Rispoli partnered up on the front line to take the team's task.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Since Barry wanted to win more, they pressed hard at the beginning of the game, hoping to open up the situation as soon as possible.
But Alessandro was also very excited in this game. He seemed to use all his energy in this game. Under his leadership, Parma's defense never made any mistakes, which made Barry unable to find a suitable breakthrough.
Parma was ready to counterattack at any time.
In the 36th minute, their chance finally came.
Alessandro headed the opponent's cross ball out, and Tonali received the ball outside the penalty area. Facing the opponent's pressing, he directly passed the ball to McAllister.
McAllister took the ball forward a few steps, and suddenly sent the ball to the front court with a long pass.
And Matteo also headed the ball to Rispoli on the side in front of the opponent's central defender, and he turned around and ran forward.
Rispoli did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball to him again.
The two-on-one cooperation between the two successfully shook off the defenders who were entangled with them. At this time, the only one left in front of Mateo was the right back Cassani who had retreated inward.
Facing this veteran, Mateo first stepped to the left, then suddenly dribbled the ball and successfully shook him off!
He rushed into the penalty area in just two steps!
At this time, goalkeeper Mitzi had already rushed out and wanted to catch the ball at his feet.
Mateo could have directly lobbed the ball, but he suddenly changed direction and prepared to pass the opponent and shoot at the empty goal.
Just as he was about to pass the opponent, Mitzi's arm had already fallen on his feet.
His body suddenly lost balance and fell to the ground!
The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, a penalty kick!
At the same time, he also showed Mitzi a yellow card.
Mitzi knew that this foul was undisputed, and he tacitly accepted it, thinking that it was fortunate that the referee showed mercy, otherwise he would probably give a red card package.
Originally, Mateo was already Parma's number one penalty taker, but this time he passed everyone and handed the ball to Alessandro.
He could have shot just now but didn't, just to give Alessandro a penalty.
Alessandro was stunned for a moment, and then he understood his son's intention.
He glanced at his teammates and finally decided to take the ball.
At this time, the audience also burst into warm applause, and they also expected Alessandro to score this penalty!
Alessandro slowly put the ball on the penalty spot and stepped back a few steps.
The referee whistled, indicating that he could take the penalty.
He took a deep breath, ran up, and shot!
There was nothing fancy about this ball, just fast speed and strong power!
Mitz judgedWrong direction, can only watch the football fly to the other side!
One to zero, Parma is leading!
And this goal was scored by their captain Alessandro!
After scoring the goal, Alessandro smiled, he ran to Matteo and hugged him tightly in his arms.
All the fans at the scene also shouted Alessandro's name!
This is also a very perfect moment for them!
After this goal, Barry did not give up, but continued to attack Parma's defense.
But Alessandro became more and more courageous. He was omnipotent on the defense line, making the opponent's attack return in vain again and again.
And in the 61st minute, Parma seized another counterattack opportunity, and Matteo scored a goal, expanding the score to 2 to 0!
Now Parma has taken the absolute initiative!
Shortly after scoring this goal, Apolloni made a substitution adjustment.
He replaced Alessandro and let him accept the cheers of the fans.
Alessandro also knew that this moment had finally come. He silently took off the captain's armband and put it on Mateo's sleeve.
Everyone was watching this special scene, which symbolized a kind of inheritance.
The story of Alessandro's players has ended, and now he has handed it over to his son.
Countless flashes lit up, which is definitely a very classic scene in the history of football.
Mateo also hugged his father tightly and watched him leave the field.
All the fans stood up collectively, and they applauded to bid farewell to the old captain.
Although he is not the biggest star in the history of Parma, he is the greatest captain in the history of the team.
Alessandro walked off the field slowly, and his teammates and opponents sent blessings along the way.
Finally, he walked to the sidelines, looked at Gatti who was waiting to play, hugged him gently, and then walked out of bounds.
The moment he stepped out of the field, he turned around and looked around the Ennio Tardini Stadium.
Then he bowed to everyone.
I, Alessandro Lucarelli, will never again step foot on this field as a player.
Goodbye!
