Official presentation day at Bologna. This Friday the new rossoblù striker took the floor at the press conference Thijs Dallingajust arrived from Toulouse to replace his compatriot Zirkzee. These are his main statements: “Serie A is a very big championship with a lot of history. Many great players have done well here like Zirkzee, I think I will also be able to assert myself, even in the Champions League. The coach asks to score goals, that’s why I’m here. He asks to press and defend, to be active”.
Dallinga was also presented by the rossoblù CEO Claudio Fenucci: “We are happy to start again from here like last year: I want to thank the organization and the fans, who are giving us the same enthusiasm that we felt last season. We have a new coach, new player, we have lost some, but the will to improve is there from everyone and this is the important thing. We closed the operation on Thjis quickly after Joshua’s departure. His will to come to Bologna is counted on to prevail over the other offers. We are very happy that he is here”.
News also came from Fenucci regarding the suggestion Mats Hummels: “We don’t have to talk about the conversations with Hummels here, but we explained the project and the city to him. Many have finished their careers here, the city has this predisposition, it seems. There is no deadline, but if the conditions are not there we have to look at other players too”
