Parma coach Stefano Pioli is delighted with Giuseppe Rossi's start to his loan spell in Parma.

"Rossi has done really well," said Pioli. "He has played with great intensity and quality.

"We knew that he would help us and I hope he can continue to play like this.

"I told him to play with the same intensity that he played with in the Premiership.

"He is a kid who has the right mentality, who wants to have a good career working hard and I know he can give us a lot."

Rossi has admitted all he wants is to get games.

"I'm young and I want to play, that is why I decided to go on loan to Parma," said Rossi.

"I want to play as much as possible. I am delighted with the goal and I want to dedicate it to my cousin Sergio, who passed away several months ago."
