“Bologna right now is the team that gives you the most fun in Serie A, the most beautiful.” There is no doubt Domenico “Mimmo” Maietta, double former of the day, asked at the microphones of Il Corriere di Bologna: “The Rossoblù have all the right cards to aim for Europe, they deserve it. I honestly did not expect a Bologna at this level after the many summer changes, now it is a deep team.”
On individuals Maietta added: “Up front anyone who plays does well, starting with Odgaard who is my favorite. Behind, you cannot do without Beukema: he is focused, he calls the line, he shortens on the midfielders, he is a thick element. The battery of outside players is now long, and Italiano is good at finding the right moment and the right men to make the best of it. They impress me in several: Dominguez, Castro, Orsolini, even Pobega.”
