It’s one of those days full of happiness, but with a veil of melancholy. Most – not to mention all – would have liked all of this to never end. But, like obviously all good things, this time too we must put a stop to the last page of this beautiful book, written in 38 days, and written with the best pens we could wish for. This evening it will be Genoa-Bolognathis evening the Rossoblù championship will end, and this evening a magnificent journey will end, which we can’t wait to start again.
Genoa-Bologna, the first leg under the banner of the “Mayor”
You approach Genoa and Bologna, it’s inevitable to return to January 5th. The Bologna he was coming off a fantastic run in December, interrupted by his first sharp fall, in Udine. Bologna-Genoa was therefore the Rossoblù’s redemption match, in front of their fans, to start the new year in the best possible way. But Alberto Gilardino had different ideas, and with him his boys. He was a Genoa grim and well organized what showed up under the Two Towers, a constant in the Grifone season. Bologna had been put against the wall and forced to chase, as we all remember, but the lifeboat had only one name: Lorenzo De Silvestri. The veteran Rossoblù swelled the net for the second time in the season, and that point, seen now, was gold.
There is a before and an after, which coincided exactly with that week
In short, had the fantastic Bologna seen up to that point already run out of petrol? So everyone who talked about “fable“? Yes, but, alas, not in that sense. A Bologna team that had recently come close to reaching the Champions League zone only managed a point against Grifone between Udinese, Genoa and Cagliari, and lost the quarter-final of the Italian Cup on penalties. But precisely that reaction against the Ligurians served as “fuel” for the following period. The “forced” break for the Super Cup certainly had an impact, but when it restarted, the Felsinei never looked back. Galeotto was the stumble between the two years, we would say: Bologna learned from that situation, and at the same time also learned to fly.
A Bologna that will close in style, whatever happens
We’ve said it in all sorts of ways about the Rossoblù season: finding new adjectives for Bologna’s feat is an arduous job, for which every now and then we let our emotions speak for themselves. With the wonderful celebration of Wednesday evening still in my eyes, it only comes naturally to thank this team. Tonight’s match will be the final act of a wonderful ride, which has provided unthinkable and indescribable emotions. This group, which includes all those who animate Casteldebole, gave a daydream to its people, and each of them will remain in history. For one night, let’s leave aside the last “burns”, and enjoy the last lines available to conclude this novel in the best way. A novel that will remain on each of us’s bedside tables for a long time.
