De Leo’s post-match comments

Emilio De Leo had this to say after Bologna’s third league victory:

“We didn’t want to leave anything up to chance, we’ve received lots of praise in the past few weeks but not a lot of points, so today we tried to get a result at all costs. The key was to find the right times to penetrate their defensive block between midfield and defence. We did especially well on pulling them out of position on the left-hand side: Rodrigo managed to get in behind many times and was a real threat. It was tough conceding the equaliser in the way we did, but we reacted well soon after and compared to the past we played with a bit of malice in our management of the game in the final moments, which definitely isn’t a bad thing.”
