Alongside Estanis Pedrola, Bologna’s sporting director Marco Di Vaio commented on the just-concluded market, revealing several behind-the-scenes details about the players who remained with the Rossoblù.
MARKET ANALYSIS. “The goals were these. Posch’s situation, on the other hand, arose during the market because of his discomfort, due to little use. So in the last few days we worked on his situation and Calabria was monitoring him. On the role of outside striker, after Iling left, we worked on Pedrola who was one of the names we had on the list. We are happy because we resisted a lot: we felt attacked from several sides, and while this is positive because it means that the players are growing, on the other hand you can create situations that destabilize our players. We are happy because the boys have all shown that they want to stay in Bologna and this makes us very happy.”
SARTORI. “We are calm in this respect. The will is there on all sides, but this is not the time to talk about it since it is a sensitive issue.”
FABBIAN AND ERLIC. “Fabbian has had many requests but the boy has never expressed a desire to leave and he is a player we rely on. In the first half he played more in Europe than in the league, all due to Odgaard’s explosion. Giovanni, however, never asked us to leave, as did Erlic. On Castro no, but on other players important offers came, but with everyone’s will we have not changed anything.”
