On the pitch for the 20th day of Serie A Football is Bologna-Roma LIVE
“It’s a different Roma compared to the first leg”, explains Vincenzo Italiano, suggesting that it will be a difficult Sunday against Ranieri’s Roma regenerated by the derby. Also because “Bologna needs points, after the home defeat against Verona, in which we could have gained momentum”. Instead the rossoblù are called to start again. First match of the year for Bologna, who will recover the last match of the first round against Inter on Wednesday, waiting to also recover the home match against Milan. It is the beginning of the tour de force for the Italian team, awaiting six matches in 20 days: “Given the opponents’ momentum, we will have to be ready if we want to get rid of the anger and disappointment of the defeat against Verona. The mistakes make us they penalized, the performance was there but in the end we didn’t score any points.”
All with an open market and the desire to try to improve the quality of the group, if possible: “Everything can be improved and we will be vigilant to see if we can add quality to the team. We had to thin out and Karlsson and Corazza left, but everything can be improved “. Especially considering that on the eve of Verona the coach had announced that the objective is to qualify for a European competition. Bologna starts once again without Cambiaghi, El Azzouzi and Aebischer: the first two resumed training on Friday, the Swiss should do so within a week.
Pobega will also be missing, disqualified. In the middle, there could be room for Ferguson (or Moro) paired with Freuler. Up front, Italiano will be spoiled for choice: because Dominguez is improving greatly, Orsolini is recovering and scored 5 goals in the mid-week practice match. Ndoye is also available. And top of the line? Everything suggests that Italiano can start again from Castro: “He is twenty years old, some mistakes must be allowed. He missed a penalty in Turin, but penalties can be missed. On the own goal against Verona he could have been more alert, but they are errors that they will serve as a lesson for him to improve.” Bologna looking for points and an encore against Roma, in a Dall’Ara team that will be all rossoblù, by virtue of the trip denied to the Giallorossi fans: to take advantage of Lazio’s defeat and continue the chase towards Europe. Waiting for reinforcements from the market.
