Bologna, 30 December 2022 – Penultimate work out of 2022 for the Bologna by Thiago Motta who this morning, in front of about fifty fans, worked on the main pitch of the Niccolò Galli technical centre, with the aim of being found ready for January 4thwhen at the Olimpico, at 16.30, the rossoblùs will embrace the championship again by facing Roma.
The session this morning, in addition to Joshua Zirkzeestill struggling with the personalized work program, he saw two others absent: training in gym for Lukasz Skorupskiafter a blow taken in training which, however, did not worry the rossoblù staff; rest, however, for Musa Barrowwhich after a slight discomfort in the groin was spared. In any case, the Gambian will be added to the group in the next few days, perhaps as early as tomorrow depending on his conditions.
Motta’s Bologna form
It is still too early to be able to say which Bologna will face Roma next Wednesday, but at least from the point of view of the formation Motta seems to have clear ideas: no double striker or change of system, the ex Genoa and Spezia insist on 4-2-3-1 made up of density in midfield and continuous offensive propositions from all the players. The Bologna coach has lined up on the one hand Arnautovic and on the other Samson as offensive terminals, confirmed Soriano on the left wing – a role he had already held, as a very young man, at the time of Sampdoria and also at Villareal, before his arrival in rossoblù – while Aebischer and Posch are increasingly tested on the right-hand chain.
In group too Emmanuel Vignatoexcluded yesterday from the final practice match, while Denso Kasius, the other player given at the start, yes aggregated to the team in the final after a part of training that saw him busy with a trainer.
At the end of training, Thiago Motta’s group entertained for a few photos and to exchange greetings with the group of BFC Without Barriersthe Bologna project, which has already been in place for several years, and which involves girls and boys, girls and boys with disabilitiesincluded in this inclusive football school.
