Match Shirt • Club • Parma • 1996 • Puma • Away • #9 • Massimo Crippa • Match Worn

Parma away shirt, 1996/97, match-worn by Massimo Crippa (No. 9). Yellow Puma long sleeve with blue accents; Parmalat woven into the fabric and CRIPPA 9 integrated in the fabric to the back.

Ancelotti’s Parma were compact and ruthless in transition, finishing second in Serie A with a blend of defensive meanness and direct attacking patterns. Multiple forwards rotated, but the midfield’s balance—ball-winning paired with simple, forward-leaning distribution—was the secret sauce of the run.

Veteran and tactical metronome, Crippa balanced the side pressing the first pass, covering the full-backs, and releasing the forwards early. He added occasional late-box runs and leadership in a dressing room full of rising stars, the embodiment of Parma’s blend of industry and quality.
