The Team’s Comments after the game against Lazio
After today’s game, Vincenzo Italiano shared his thoughts: “Lazio are a strong team who have a good run of form. We conceded an unusual goal, but we were good at responding immediately. Bologna are always a solid team; they know how to react and never back down. I’m pleased with this valuable point, and we will carry on going, with lots of tough matches coming up in quick succession, starting with Vigo on Thursday.”
Federico Ravaglia, MVP of the match, commented after the game: “It was a tough game right from the start; bringing home this point wasn’t easy, but we put in a strong team performance. I made several saves, but everyone played well. There isn’t a fixed starting eleven; the whole squad is important. We need to carry on like this. We know the work that we put in and what our aims are: we want to earn points in every game, in every competition. Tonight, I’m thinking of Sinisa; the match against Lazio was his game.”
Lorenzo De Silvestri spoke: “We played well against Lazio, who are a side that has been constantly improving. Maybe we could have done a bit more towards the end, but I’m happy with this draw. Unfortunately, they scored while we were down to ten players, but we were good at making a swift recovery. In the final moments, we could have taken advantage of a few more chances, but the draw is fair. We’re bringing home a valuable point in a time when we’re playing every three days. I want to send my love to Sinisa’s family, who were here tonight, for me. He was more than a coach, and it just feels right to be remembering him right now.”
Nadir Zortea shared his thoughts: “The first half was really fast-paced. It’s a shame we conceded when we were down to ten men; we could have been more focused, but we were good at responding immediately. In the final moments, with our numerical advantage, we should have tried to win. The draw is a little frustrating, but given how the game went, it’s a good result against a strong team. The move on Tavares is something I often practice in training, and I’m glad it worked because it’s great to see that the work I put in brings results. We have a strong team spirit; we’re all united. Every match, a different starting XI takes the field. This motivates us and creates healthy competition. Whoever plays is ready; we’re all starters.”
