Torino’s next opponent will be Bologna and to find out all the secrets of the rossoblù we contacted those who know them very well
On Friday evening Torino will try to return to success after two defeats and two draws in the last four matches. However, the Granata will have to compete against the revelation team of the championship, namely Bologna who currently occupies fourth position in the table. Thiago Motta’s rossoblù are a team that plays very well and knows how to put Toro in difficulty as seen in the first leg match won by the Emilians 2-0. To find out all the strengths and weaknesses of the people from Bologna we asked some questions to those who always follow them closely like Andrea Trezza Of TuttoBolognaWeb whom we thank for having granted himself exclusively to our microphones.
Good morning Andrea, in what condition do you arrive at Bologna for this match against Torino? “Bologna arrives at this match with positive morale because on the last day the mathematical certainty of qualification for the next European cups arrived which had been missing for more than 20 years. This team, however, aspires to something more and in fact no great celebrations have arrived The Champions League is the objective and there is a nest egg of points to defend in these last four matches to obtain at least the fifth position currently disputed with Roma and Atalanta.”.
In the first leg the rossoblù prevailed over the granata, has anything changed since then in terms of beliefs or in the tactical plan of Thiago Motta’s team?“Ever since Thiago Motta arrived last year, Bologna has always had an offensive game, setting its own type of game and playing the game. So from this point of view there are no particular innovations but in terms of conviction, yes. Bologna they’re fourth with just four games to go and it wasn’t like we were at the start of the first leg and everything was more uncertain. From a morale point of view, this team is sky high and the objective is to win Friday’s match too.”.
A former player from the match will be De Silvestri who also left some good memories in Turin. Is he a player still suitable for Bologna’s level and who is called into question?“The playing time is naturally reduced because the starter is always Posch and he is towards the end of his career. He is called into play little on the pitch but every now and then Thiago Motta uses him in the final minutes when there is a lead to defend, especially considering that the only alternative to Posch, if not the young Corazza, is De Silvestri. From a human point of view, however, he is perhaps the most important player in the Bologna dressing room and helps the younger players by being very experienced, he manages to maintain. the team is cohesive. Even from the bench you can see that he is always encouraging and giving advice to his teammates to help Thiago Motta, he is certainly an added value and perhaps when he stops playing he could still play a role in the club here in Bologna because he has integrated very well. “.
Away from home, Bologna hasn’t lost for almost 4 months and in this period they have beaten big names like Roma, Lazio and Atalanta on their pitches. What should Taurus fear most?“Bologna lost only three games away against Fiorentina, Udinese and Cagliari. The game doesn’t change much whether it’s at home or away. A lot will depend on the attitude that Torino will have because we know that Juric is not a coach defensive player who waits behind but plays and presses a lot. This year, however, Bologna has shown that they struggle more against teams that close in and don’t leave spaces first in the round and therefore will not know the results of the competitors”.
On the other hand, how can Torino win it? What will he have to do on the pitch to hurt this surprising Bologna?“I think the only match that Bologna missed this year was the one against Udine in which they lost 3-0. One aspect that Torino can focus on is to hope that the rossoblù underestimate the match even if it is unlikely to happen because Thiago Motta has always been good at instilling the right mentality. To understand Turin’s motivations after the latest results, a factor that could perhaps lead Bologna to take this commitment a little more lightly and then in any case they will be missing some very important players such as the suspended Beukema who is the real defensive pillar and the injured Ferguson who had recently become captain”.
