Donadoni attempting to keep spirits up at crisis hit Parma

Parma coach Roberto Donadoni is trying to keep his team together amid the club's financial problems.

Parma missed a monthly payment for the players, which could lead to a points deduction.

Donadoni said: "President Ghirardi spoke to the squad and we thank him. He has done something positive, made sure everyone was paid eventually and deserves respect. It's too easy for some to talk with other people's money.

"Now we have the ball. We must show a different side to the team than the one we saw against Juventus, as we cannot be that side that lost 7-0. We must concentrate and emerge from this situation.

"I am not just looking at the psychological aspect now, as I've been dealing with this for three years now."
