The match against Bologna at the 'Dall'Ara' ended 2-1; these are the words of coach Thiago Motta after the match:
"The match started well, we dominated in the first 15 minutes, we created and managed to stay high, but after the goal, we went down and we couldn't play our game. Bologna is a strong team, they were good at leading the game and we suffered for most of the match, especially in the management of ball possession.
On the positive side, I take home the demonstration that we are able to play a proactive game, as we saw in the first half of the match, as well as the team spirit that is one of our strengths that we must always rely on, but it is clear that in the next few games we must improve and give continuity to our game.
We're talking about Manaj this evening because he scored, but he's been fundamental to the team for some time now: the movements he can make, his contribution in defense, he's a guy who works hard during the week and he's earned both my trust and that of the lads.
I really admire Mihajlovic, he's proving to be a great professional, but above all a great person.
If you want to play at this level against an offensive team like Bologna you have to be aware that defending is not enough, and that's what we lacked this evening: we started well, but as I said, when we went down we couldn't control the game anymore.
The two defeats have certainly not undermined the team's enthusiasm. We have already been through some difficult moments, the guys are playing in the right way, with the team spirit that distinguishes us; now we think immediately to the next one because we have the opportunity to play at home against a great team and to be able to give continuity to all the positive things seen so far."
