Bologna achieved victory against Lecce, bringing a smile back to the rossoblù fans after a series of mixed results. Coach Raffaele Palladino explained the choice to give the starting role to Pessina instead of Skorupski, underlining the technical aspect and motivation of the young player. "Pessina arrived with great enthusiasm and I saw him excited on the pitch. Skorupski had worked well, but the decision was made based on technique. We will see how the situation evolves in the next matches," Palladino declared during the press conference.
Palladino also highlighted the importance of Pessina's growth, stating that "he too needs to make mistakes, but we need to watch his evolution." He mentioned that Orsolini had managed the team's physical reconditioning, while Bernardeschi had only returned to action on Wednesday, and expressed hope that any hard feelings would not be serious.
During the match, Bologna showed an offensive and determined attitude. “I liked the attitude of the team, I wanted to play the game until the end to win it and in the end we were good and lucky to bring home the victory,” said the coach. The team, after drawing 1-1, demonstrated strength and ability to react, managing to overcome Lecce with a decisive goal. Palladino reiterated that "in football, the one who plays better and has the ability to score one more goal than the opponent wins," and acknowledged the opportunities missed by Lecce.
With this result, Bologna is closer to a more solid position in the Serie A standings. The coach closed the conference with a message of confidence: "Our goal is to continue to improve, maintain motivation and face the next challenges with the same determination." Bologna's next match will be crucial to consolidate the race towards the middle of the table and keep alive the hope of a positive season.
