Bologna, Italian finds Vlahovic again: “I met a champion. The boos to Thiago Motta…”

During today’s press conference, the Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano spoke about Dusan Vlahovic: “I met a champion in those six months when I met him, a boy who with the great hunger of Florence allowed him to score goals before my arrival and with me, I will gladly hug him tomorrow” .

Did you expect this maturity from Castro?
“Great surprise, he had already impressed me in training camp, he was also hungry and always focused, for me the young guys must understand that training allows them to bring back to the field everything they do during the week, in their growth during training. He has yet to make a mistake in training, an obsession, a hunger that if he maintains it, he can become a very important player.”

What aspect surprises you most about Freuler?
“I often talk to him about how he works off his fatigue, it’s incredible that he shows up the days after the matches and says he’s fine, but the kilometers and the effort he puts in every match speak for themselves, lucky him, lucky us. I congratulate him, I hope may you continue like this, taking care of these details so well.”

How do you evaluate the boos for Motta?
“It happened to me in the past too, I can say that they are ungenerous but I’ll stop here, everyone follows their own path. Environment Thiago and the club all together have done something incredible.”
