The Bologna coach spoke at a press conference today on the eve of the match against Torino Thiago Motta he focused on the pressure of achieving the objectives: “No pressure, for other clubs it could have been at the beginning of the season, but we are here with the desire to do something more. I am grateful to my boys for always following our lines, I thank even those who participated less, always training well in training, it is thanks to them that the level is rising more and more, because those who play must be fit and attentive. Yesterday we had a fantastic training session. Because even the team knew that he didn’t start from the 1st tomorrow he had a good training. As a result the others had to demonstrate a high level. This is the strength of this group, we have no pressure and no obsession, just a wonderful responsibility to enter into a historic situation to be able to reach the Champions League. We are already in Europe after 22 years, but why not try to enter the Champions League?!
Saelemaekers attacking midfielder? When Bologna chose a player of this caliber it was because Bologna decided to have a very useful player, he is demonstrating a great level at the moment. Since he arrived he has improved our game, he arrived with great pressure, wanting to demonstrate that he is at a high level, he needed some time to adapt, today together with his teammates he is proving that he is at a high level.
He’s in a good moment because he’s scoring, he’s attentive with and without the ball, he’s fine and I hope he can continue like this until the end of the season. It’s difficult to highlight a boy who is doing better than others at the moment. One we don’t often talk about and who has given a lot of balance to the team is Remo Freuler, he is a fundamental boy to allow Bologna to play the football that he does.”
