Raffaele Palladino opened tomorrow's press conference with a clear evaluation of the match against Monza and paid particular attention to the role of Artem Dovbyk, a striker who appears to be in a transition phase. The Bologna coach underlined that, despite the difficulty of maintaining form for the entire match, Dovbyk demonstrated a strong commitment to following the instructions provided.
According to Palladino, Dovbyk “pushed harder” during the week, demonstrating a desire to improve and implement the manager's requests. The player, however, complained that he did not have the physical condition to last the 90 minutes, but confirmed his availability for tomorrow's match. “He is not in condition to last ninety minutes but he is available tomorrow,” specified the coach, highlighting Dovbyk's desire to contribute to the best of his ability.
The coach also praised the adaptation of Jens, who played an important role despite it not being his natural position. “Jens has adapted well and done a great job for the team even though that's not really his position,” Palladino added. The coach then mentioned the hope of returning to count on Piccoli and Enem, two forwards who, according to him, represent a valid resource for the offensive department.
Bologna is therefore preparing for a crucial match against Monza, with the hope of consolidating their position in the standings. The team, which has shown some momentum in recent matches, aims to take advantage of Dovbyk's availability and Jens' solidity to achieve a positive result. Palladino closed the conference with the optimism that, despite the physical difficulties, the team will be able to count on a competitive offensive line ready to give its all on the field.
