One of the solutions you use is also to widen the game further by using the winger on his natural side, as with Ndoye… Which you weren’t able to do with Orsolini. How come? This is one of the questions asked at the press conference Thiago Mottacoach of Bologna who, two days before the match against Udinese – a match valid for the 34th matchday of Serie A – responded thus: “More than opening or not opening the pitch, I think that today the player to become more important and incisive must know how to play on the right as well as on the left. I was lucky enough to play with Leo Messi who, when he was well, if he was used as a central defender, was the best central defender in the world. So everyone can make a small sacrifice, to be complete.”
Then in another passage he added: “Since it is a collective game and considering that the kids and the people who work the most are more with each other than with their family, it is certainly an aspect to consider. This is also reflected on the pitch, when a player comes on for just 5 minutes playing to help their teammates. There is a lot of respect between each member and everyone works a lot, each giving their best to be able to play the next match and creating a healthy competition that increases the level of the group, I agree, the environment helps.” .
