reported on May 10 that in the 36th round of Serie A, Bologna lost 1-3 away to Milan. Bologna coach Idalino attended the post-match press conference.

What do you think of this game?

The last 15-20 minutes of the game ruined our good performance in the first 70 minutes. We showed a strong personality in San Siro away, we conducted targeted tactical research, and our passes and ball control are very distinctive, and the tactical strategies are correct. Usually the players who come out on the bench will bring us some extra support, but this time it is the opponent who changes the game through substitutions. However, this is possible in football games. We haven't encountered such a 15 to 20 minutes in a long time. Considering next Wednesday’s Cup final, we need to make some adjustments because in this kind of game, once you give the opponent space, you’ll be punished. We will be ready for Wednesday's final.

Currently, Bologna ranks seventh in the Serie A standings with one more game, but only one point behind fourth place

If you want to stay in the Champions League, you can't slow down, but we have indeed slowed down a little in recent games. Today we hope to get points when facing a strong opponent away, and we want to strive for the best results. However, now our focus will be entirely on the Italian Cup final.

Are you surprised by Milan's tactical adjustments in the game?

Milan has been doing this in recent games, and they will change the formation in the last 15 to 20 minutes of the game, and we are already prepared for this. But we concede the ball that way, giving the opponent room to attack, and they will cause damage to us. In the final next Wednesday, we must also pay attention to Milan's formation changes in the game. Then we will have some players recovering and there will be more fresh power.

What are the situations of the wounded in Bologna?

Endoye, Holm, Odegaard were all absent today due to injury, and we also arranged for Ferguson and Miranda to take a turn. We hope they are all ready to play next Wednesday.
