Bologna head coach Vincenzo Italiano spoke to DAZN a few minutes prior to this afternoon’s kick-off at Stadio Olimpico.

“We are coming off a good moment in the league,” he said.

“Physically we are fine, even if we had the match in the Champions League in which we did not get a positive result, but we played well.”

“We must continue to grow and improve. We are making rotations that are giving us satisfaction. We want to find continuity in Serie A.”

“We have to be ourselves against a fearsome team,” he added. “Juric? With Ivan we’ve always had beautiful games, intense and tense until the end.”
