Parma take on Inter on Monday evening and President Tommaso Ghirardi admits he has “been thinking about this game for a long time.”

Serie A Week 14 is stretched out due to the Europa League fixtures, so the Tardini match kicks off tomorrow at 20.00 GMT.

“I have been thinking about this game for a long time,” Ghirardi told the official Parma website.

“We know that we are facing a very strong side. However, we’ve been extremely hard to beat at the Tardini over the last eight months and are coming off a long series of positive results.

“We hope to maintain the same determination, hunger and make the most of our individual talents to get a great result.”
