Joel Obi returns to Parma, the city where his parents still live, on loan from Inter. During today’s official presentation the midfielder revealed the reasons why he decided to move to Donadoni’s team and what he expects of the time with the team: “I grew up in Parma and for that reason I was glad to return here and the club wanted the same thing. The team is well equipped, I saw the first matches and I think they had some bad luck. I reunite with Walter Gargano and Antonio Cassano, who when I talked to him during these days of negotiations has expressed how well he enjoys Parma. I’m here to pay back the confidence everyone has shown for me, there is great competition on the midfield, but I’m at the coach’s disposal. Parma has always remained in my heart. I return to live in my town, I reunite with many friends that I had contact with in recent years. My form? I have completed preparations with Inter and I’m ready to be in the squad for the next game. I have had some physical problems in the past, but I have gotten past them. I will try give everything I have to the team, take advantage of my formability to be useful. Now I can’t wait to get going.”
