Long interview with former Bologna midfielder Blerim Dzemaili in the pages of today’s edition of Il Corriere di Bologna.
BOLOGNA – “The standings speak for themselves. The Rossoblù also on Friday won a game that had gone badly. Great reaction, great team. The real surprise of the championship is Bologna. When you have a fantastic season and the coach and 4 important players leave, it is not obvious to repeat. Instead, they all did an amazing job. From the company, very organized, to Sartori a real magician.”
ITALIAN – “Play a different soccer from last year, from Motta’s; now the team is more proactive, taller, more direct.”
CHAMPIONS – “Bologna has everything to be among the big ones, starting with the club, which is solid and well-run. Now, however, it is still early for registration. We need to give it a few years. Champions is a difficult exam, very challenging. The club for me now would do well to play a few editions of the Europa League and confirm there. Even Atalanta, which everyone looks to, has then done so.”
SVIZZERI – “Freuler is fundamental. Parma lacks someone like him. He can manage the tempo, he leads the team. Age is not a problem, he doesn’t click, but he has a constant high pace. Aebischer is appreciated by all coaches: he does everything. Once in the national team he played fullback. ‘Really?” we said to each other in the stands. Clever as hell. And then Ndoye, who has also been on the national team for years, is hardly a surprise: now with goals he is making the leap in quality we’ve been waiting for.”
