After three defeats in a row, Bologna face Sassuolo, who have had six consecutive useful results: the Emilian derby which is evenly matched in terms of rankings, with 24 points. “A red thread that unites the three defeats in a row – says Sinisa Mihajlovic -? The speech starts from further away: we lost three games against direct opponents, but this year the level has risen and playing at one hundred per hour is not enough. more; in addition to having to raise the levels of concentration and malice. In Turin we did not play, against Fiorentina and Juve the attitude was right but we made mistakes and we were punished. But we must be good at punishing our opponents when they play our own mistakes: if we want something more we have to give something more. And giving more depends not on our opponents but on ourselves “.

Barrow and … Brozovic

Mihajlovic then analyzes the situation more deeply. “Are we tired? If we look at the other championships we have grown, today we are higher, the” gap “a year ago was 15 points from the big teams and now it is seven, in the past there was talk of the Sassuolo model but today we are on par. Now we are out of our target but we want to go back immediately. This is a team that has ambition like me, we are all convinced that we will reach the goal but we have to raise the levels. Turnover? We have two problems, but we change where we have the right changes, ahead we will change something yes. Van Hooijdonk? I took it shortly and it is perhaps better if he goes to play to see how he responds. Barrow? I’m not happy and he’s not: he must be meaner but he’s a golden boy, sensitive .. He goes in flashes, he lacks continuity. Year-end balance sheet? Player who impressed me Brozovic, then if we go to nationalism I say Vlahovic. Then as a team I choose Napoli, it would be trivial to say Inter even if it is strong … wish you a Merry Christmas, to everyone, to the fans, to those who need it above all … “.
