Former goalkeeper Gianluca Pagliucawho wore the Bologna shirt from 1999 to 2006 after having also spent two years as a youth player for the rossoblù (from 1984 to 1986), commented on the 3-0 defeat of the Emilians on the Lazio pitch, speaking to the microphones of Radio Nettuno Bologna Uno.
Pagliuca says returning to the manner of the defeat at the Olimpico: “Sooner or later a defeat had to happen. It was ripe, it’s the law of large numbers… Lazio today is a great team, in any case as long as there was numerical parity the match remained balanced. Without the red the direction of the match would have been different.” Pagliuca also focuses on the red card received by Pobega: “He went to get the ball, with great enthusiasm. Then Guendouzi made a sensational scene and the referee couldn’t help but warn him. Naive mistake, he probably intervened without thinking that he was already warned.”
Finally, Pagliuca also analyzes the performance of last night’s Bologna goalkeeper, Ravaglia who replaced the unavailable Skorupski. in particular on the first goal scored by the Biancocelesti, Gigot’s close tap-in following a corner kick: “The ball goes close, but Moro’s spin diverts the trajectory and there the goalkeeper is the least of the culprits”.
