completes 35 passes in a row before Zirkzee’s goal

The victory against Rome allowed the Bologna to put a foot and a half in the next one Champions League. The team led by Thiago Motta is experiencing an incredible season that will almost certainly end with the most beautiful finish, a dream for all the Dall’Ara fans who this year saw the rossoblù behave like a real big team. But there is much more behind the 3-1 at the Olimpico: it is the concentration of the coach’s work, his ideas and his dictates, expressed best in the action that led to Joshua Zirkzee’s goal.

The striker is the great symbol of this team, the driving force already eyed by all the big European clubs, but he has kept his head on his shoulders and his gaze turned towards the great goal. However, Bologna is also the triumph of the collective and teamwork, well expressed in the Dutchman’s goal. Before the temporary 2-0 scored against Roma the rossoblù completed 35 consecutive passeswith a dense plot that opened the doors to doubling his number.

It all started with the throw-in taken by Posch which started a spectacular action, also taken up by the club itself on all social media. The defender puts the ball back into play towards the defense, with the two central defenders dribbling and starting the restart using the left lane and a few too many holes left by the Giallorossi. From there Bologna centralizes and stays in the frontcourt, passes to the left to find the right gap and on the eleventh pass decides to go back to rebuild its plot from scratch, without ever losing the ball for a second.

Patiently, Thiago Motta’s team continues to dribble, until with a long throw into the area which arrived after 33 passes in a row, they put Zirkzee in front of the goal who scored on the 35th ball touched by the rossobù who they maintained possession for over a minute and a half straight: Bologna this season is a perfect orchestra and the striker’s goal is the best demonstration of this.
