10.07am – Juric’s press conference begins
What are the pitfalls of tomorrow?
“Bologna is the team that impressed me the most, they have a fantastic spirit. When I see them, they are really strong: we have to face them at our best”
What are Thiago Motta’s new additions to Bologna?
“After a long time, I saw something new and I liked it. He built it with the director, they are players with European characteristics and the way they play is particular. Even outside of Italy you don’t see their play. I’m curious to see what Thiago will do in a possible new team”
Thiago is linked to big clubs: is he surprised?
“No, he was already half a genius as a footballer. He needed time, in Bologna he found his dimension. His footballing background takes him to a great team, he will have a great career. I’m curious to see how his career will continue”
At San Siro with the back four: will you continue like this?
“We’ll see. I liked Toro a lot in the first half, we created a lot. It’s a valid option”
Do you have the inertia to change this lack of results?
“These are points of view. The left side is a great success, but we haven’t reached the maximum peaks of joy. But I always remember where we started from, we have to be careful with our words”
Why is tenth place the constant?
“These are always points of view. We hope to still be on the left side: they are excellent results. To do something more, something was missing. Then we will analyze the errors or whether we have brought out the best. I have my ideas on what more could have been done”
What are the stimuli for tomorrow?
“You have often asked me this question…Every match is an opportunity, an important shirt is being defended: enough is enough as motivations. I don’t ask myself this problem. Every year we have problems with contract deadlines, someone on loan, but everyone trains hard and we prepare to do our best. If something happens that I notice, you react and go and solve it. But I always see the team on track.”
Will you play one or two strikers tomorrow?
“We’ll see how to deal with them”
Win or lose, but you are always tenth: the team is always mediocre. Isn’t tenth place the ideal placement? Not just from a football point of view…
“No. They are always points of view…In other places tenth place is a great result, looking at the budget and situations it is an excellent result. Then seeing what I think about the history and the joy of the fans, Toro must have an objective, structure and work to be better than tenth place. On the one hand, it is a great job starting from 17th place in this three-year period , but it’s not true joy”
