A very important victory for Bolognaobtained at home against Lecce in the first of the Saturday advance matches in Serie A. 3 points which signify continuity for the Italian team, fresh from the success achieved in Cagliari in the midweek round. The feeling is that the Bologna team is growing more and more in the image and likeness of its coach, with that desire to control ball possession and permanently occupy the opponent’s half of the pitch that Italiano showed for 3 years in Florence.
In addition to the growth in terms of performances, which still have ample room for improvement, Bologna have made a good leap in the standings with the 6 points gained in the last 2 matches. Now he is close to that European area that he frequented assiduously last year, finishing with a wonderful fifth place. Will the Bolognese be able to repeat themselves? It’s up to them to prove they can do it.
Lecce tough, but too little dangerous
For a Bologna that rejoices and dreams, on the other side there is a Lecce with the opposite morale. The victory against Verona was important, but only a small light in a dark period. Certainly both with Napoli and at Dall’Ara the Salento team put in a good effort, but it wasn’t enough to bring home points and in any case the limitations of Gotti’s team also emerged. In particular, against the Emilians the Apulian team did almost nothing in the offensive phase. There are opponents and opponents and Bologna is still a team that participates in the Champions League, but to get to safety a turning point will be needed in terms of courage and goals scored (the Lecce one is currently the worst attack in Serie A).
