The Bologna leaves with a point from the trip against Turin. The Emilians were unable to impose themselves on the Granata Juric and at the end of the challenge Thiago Motta commented on his team’s performance: “It’s impossible to be more proud than this, I love these guys. Today another fantastic test in a very complicated field, we fought a lot. When we have to play we play, when we have to play less and go into battle we do it. When I see these guys I remember the last pre-season match againstAZ, I remember the faces of my boys in the locker room… today, finding ourselves in a moment like this is wonderful. We have done something historic, after 22 years arriving in Europe is fantastic. The credit goes to everyone, from the president to all the management, the people who work in the company and these guys who have done something extraordinary“.
Motta, the Champions League and the future
The Emilian coach continued: “Now there are three games left to finish the entire marathon. We have arrived at km 39, there are still 3 to go. We want to try to get there Champions League. Difficulties make us grow, it is clear that we need time. Coaches need time but football must be judged and seen on the results. All the players I’ve had are like children. With Bologna it was a difficult start but since things have started to change there is clearly a lot more satisfaction. The boys understand that sometimes we can play at our best and other times we have to adapt to the opponents. What has been done to date is something unimaginable for everyone“. Finally, on his future: “My future is not important, when the time comes we will see what the conditions are for being able or not to continue, always for the good of this club“.
