What better way to forget the defeats against Lazio and Lille – which came in a positive period of recovery, growth – than to throw yourself headlong into the championship and win 3-0? Bologna reacts to the last two slaps and delivers three to Venezia: two on penalties, once with Ndoye and the other with Orsolini; then Ndoye again for his personal double and the final hat trick. The evening of the wingers, those of Italiano (Ndoye and Orsolini are the best on the pitch, as well as the goalscorers), and those of Di Francesco who could soon be metaphorically cut.
Di Francesco at risk
Venezia collapses in the second half. The 3-0 in Bologna, in fact, shook the Venezia coach’s bench. There will soon be a discussion with the owners, Di Francesco’s future will be decided in the next few hours. Despite the words of sporting director Antonelli in the pre-match: “Everyone with Di Francesco? Yes, absolutely. We are all united, the environment is united. There is a bit of discontent among the fans, but even today he responded present, there are a thousand fans here in Bologna. We are all united and all with the coach in this journey.”
