Massimo Gobbi is full of praise for new Parma teammate Antonio Cassano.

Cassano arrived earlier this month from Inter Milan.

"Cassano is accustomed to working with champions and wants to give us a hand," said new teammate Gobbi.

"He can really fire all of us up. He likes to laugh and joke around in the locker room too, but when we have to work, he puts in the effort.

"He has incredible qualities and I hope he can help us to score many goals this season. The club is giving its all and we want to do better than ever in Parma's centenary year."
