In the first round of Serie A matches, Parma drew 1-1 with Fiorentina. Japanese goalkeeper Suzuki Ayahiro started for Parma and put in an impressive performance.
Suzuki Ayahiro became the first Japanese goalkeeper to play in Serie A. In the first half, Suzuki made several saves and also initiated attacks, leading to Parma’s goal.
However, it was also due to a mistake by Suzuki that led to the opponent scoring directly from a free-kick, eventually equalizing the score.
Parma’s head coach Pecchia commented after the game: “Suzuki Ayahiro and the defensive combination were very excited at the start, but also a bit nervous. Overall, their performance was very good. The goal came from an attack initiated by Suzuki, his presence can enrich our team’s playing style.”
