On the eve of the match against Liverpool, the Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano he spoke like this about the match against the Reds: “I think this format is very interesting, it’s very nice to see this enormous ranking which gives so much motivation. We have the chance to play more chances and in my opinion it was a good idea to change it in this way. I see Orsolini better: with Atalanta I saw him more present and I liked him. Then with the inferiority we had to make different decisions. For the captain’s armband, I spoke with the boys and we will rotate it among the most representative ones. the most experienced and who best represent the group. Everyone must know that they are important to this group.”
Bologna is a team made up of veterans and young people. Do you see the latter as ready for the Champions League?
“The young boys express themselves as mature players. I think of Urbanski, Castro, Fabbian who have remarkable intelligence and are surprising me a lot. I am convinced that this match and this stage will give the boys many ideas to try to do even better. I have I gave an example to the boys: when I trained with the first team and then went down with the Primavera, I felt the difference and the responsibility when I returned with my teammates. Tomorrow we have to bring home many new ideas from here, we have to learn a lot for the future “.
More Fabbian or more Urbanski on the pitch tomorrow?
“I always carry around some doubts that I reflect on at night, then at breakfast and at snack time the next day. This has been the case since I’ve been doing this job: I want to experience situations first-hand. I look at how the kids present themselves at breakfast, if they’re concentrated. .. These are the sensations I base myself on.”
