Bologna ended the training day with a direct message from coach Raffaele Palladino: the victory against Milan must not become a distraction. “Football has no memory, we must immediately look to the next match,” declared the coach, underlining the importance of maintaining concentration before the match with Monza.
Palladino reiterated that the success at San Siro gave the group positive energy, but also warned not to fall into presumption. “Winning at San Siro brings enthusiasm, self-esteem and positive energy, but you have to be careful not to feel better than you are,” he explained, highlighting the need to face every match with the same intensity. The coach also recalled that the moment of joy must be used to prepare for the inevitable future difficulties, so that the team does not turn into a "loser".
Monza, for Palladino, represents a crucial stage in his career. He cited his experience with top-flight clubs, mentioning figures such as Berlusconi and Galliani, and expressed respect for the team he has faced in the past. “Monza is an organised, courageous team, coached very well, by a friend,” he said, indicating the need to adapt the game based on the situation: “We will have to understand when to attack high and when to defend lower”.
Before the match, the coach asked the players to maintain the same level of commitment they showed against Milan, recalling that every match is a "tough match" that requires maximum concentration. "We know that we will have to suffer, that we will have to play a tough game. I was clear with the boys after Milan and I am convinced that the message has gotten through," he said.
With the match against Monza scheduled, Bologna prepares for a match that will require both discipline and determination. The coach asked the players to face the challenge with the same mentality with which they played against the Rossoneri, trying to maintain enthusiasm without losing caution. The result of this match could influence the team's path in the season, but for now the goal is to maintain the concentration and positive energy that drove the victory at San Siro.
