Dzemaili to Sky: “We’ll need character at the San Paolo”

Blerim Dzemaili held a long interview with Sky Sport 24 today at the training ground. “I’m happy to be back at Bologna, even if the six months at Montreal were very good. The comeback was perfect. I played against Benevento, we won and I even got a goal. I know that it won’t always be like that and I’ll need patience to get back up to top form. The team remains the priority and it’s done well so far and now we need to take another step forward and get a result off a big side which we’ve been lacking. We need a performance that will give us more confidence in ourselves as we continue to follow our objective of a top-ten finish. We have a strong club, a good coach and a lot of excellent individuals and because of all this I believe that the objective is there for the taking. I spent three important years at Napoli and it’s always a pleasure to go back. We’ll certainly need to show personality at the San Paolo because you’ve lost before even beginning if you’re afraid at a stadium like that against a team like that. Verdi? He knows that he’ll be whistled there but I’m sure that he won’t let it affect him.”
