“The only thing that matters is the next match, it’s Udinese and how we will face the match”, Motta’s comment in the conference
One win and it will be Conference League arithmetic. Instead, five points are needed to secure the Europa League and eight points for the Champions League.
With five days to go before the end of the season, in Bologna we are starting to take stock of a probable historic return to Europe, but Thiago Motta does not deviate from the line that guided his Bologna up to a few steps from the finish line: “The only what matters is the next match, it’s Udinese and how we will face the match. We must continue with this commitment until the end and give our fans this joy.”
He is fresh from a crucial victory at Roma’s home team, Bologna. But Motta doesn’t trust Udinese, mindful of the 3-0 first-leg defeat for the Bianconeri: “I think it will be a different match, Sunday’s, compared to the one against Roma – he argues -. I think they will often try to close and we will have to be able to address this aspect collectively and if they come to play we must be ready for that too. We must be ready for everyone, aware of the aspects of our game on which to insist and those to improve.”
