Bologna coach RaffaelePalladino closed the press conference on 30 October with a clear message: after the victory against Milan, the objective is to not let the energy pass and to aim for important points against Monza, which will be held at the RenatoDall'Ara on 31 October. Palladino underlined that football "has no memory" and that every SerieA match presents its own pitfalls, inviting the players to look immediately to the next match and not to be distracted by the emotions of the past.
During the conference the coach spoke about the difficulties that the staff had to face after the night at SanSiro, highlighting the need for good physical and mental preparation to face Monza. He expressed doubts about the formation, leaving open the possibility of changing the composition depending on the physical recovery of the players. Palladino also recalled the importance of respecting the opponent and not making tactical errors, especially because he knows Monza and its coach well, with whom he has a friendly relationship.
As for the squad, Palladino confirmed that ArtemOdgaard was evaluated during the week and that, although he does not have the endurance for 90 minutes, he will be available for the match. He also mentioned the presence of JensDovbyk, who has adapted well despite his position not being his natural one, and expressed confidence in the two top strikers, Piccoli and Enem, who are expected to return to the field. The coach explained that the choice to keep Cambiaghi and Miranda on the bench in the first half against Milan was a tactical decision to give energy to the recovering players.
Palladino asked the players not to feel "better" than they are, but to take advantage of the positive moment to continue working. He also praised Mbangula, calling him a sensitive but self-sacrificing boy, and thanked the medical staff for their work on Orsolini's recovery. He then spoke about the alternative to Zortea, mentioning Amondarain as a candidate for the fifth position, and reiterated the importance of Ferguson on the pitch, defining him as a champion with a strong reading of the game.
Finally, Palladino closed the conference with the optimism that, if Bologna manages to maintain its form, it will be able to "annoy everyone", especially in view of the match against Monza, where the team will have to demonstrate that it is ready to continue its race towards the most important points in the standings.
