Hernan Crespo is staying with Parma for next season.

The Argentine striker turned 35 yesterday and has spent the summer working as a pundit at the World Cup.

When asked if he felt tired of football, Crespo said: "Absolutely not. I am enjoying myself like crazy.

"You know what keeps me going? The enthusiasm of the fans who pay for the tickets, then the training sessions and finally the games.

"I have a year left on my contract and I am going forward."

Crespo then gave his impression of Parma's new Coach Pasquale Marino.

"Judging from what he did at Catania and Udine, I like him a lot. His teams have always played good football."
