In the last round of the championship the Bologna he put Juventus under and the victory, which on points would have been largely deserved, only faded in injury time. Vincenzo Italiano is really doing a great job despite the inevitable difficulties he had to go through and overcome after a magical year that Bologna and Bologna had lived on a cloud. Now, however, there is the Champions League and a huge objective: the first victory in Europe, in the away match in Lisbon against Benfica, to keep the playoff dream alive.
As written in today’s edition of Corriere dello Sportit is legitimate to point out that tomorrow evening’s match at Da Luz in Lisbon and the following matches against Borussia Dortmund at the Dall’Ara and Sporting Lisbon at the José Alvalade are the last 3 Champions League calls for Bologna. The newspaper writes that the Italian team must not make mistakes in the Champions League for various reasons and lists them.
The first: as long as the exit from the scene is not mathematical, it is right that he believes in the playoffs. The second: these are matches that teach you a lot and if you live them properly you will also benefit from them in the championship and in the Italian Cup. The third: the Champions League represents the best showcase for a footballer.
The fourth, perhaps the most important: there is also an economic aspect to keep in mind, because for a draw you are awarded 700 thousand euros and for a victory even 2.1 million. And again: so far Bologna has received 18.62 million for the Champions League, plus 700 thousand euros for the draw against Shakhtar, then 10.9 million for the commercial part (total 30.22). Finally, for each position higher in the rankings earned, 275 thousand euros will arrive in the rossoblù coffers.
