Nostalgic Serie A five-a-side teams: picking a line-up for … Parma
Kicking off a new series, whereby writers choose their nostalgic Serie A teams of Calcio, with an impossible choice
By Mark Gordon for The Gentleman Ultra
Rather than delving into the history books, I have decided to stick with players that I have seen play for my Parma five-a-side lineup. I could easily have gone defensive as I reluctantly left out Roberto Sensini, Lilian Thuram, Luigi Apolloni and Antonio Benarrivo. Similarly, I could have gone for all-out attack but left out Faustino Asprilla, Tomas Brolin, Enrico Chiesa and Alberto Gilardino. Special mentions must go to a few of my favourite ever Parma players. The goalkeepers Sébastien Frey and Cláudio Taffarel along with the midfielders Juan Sebastián Verón and Diego Fuser, were all players that I loved to watch.
