Bologna Boss Wary of ‘World-Class’ Inter Ahead of Crucial Showdown | OneFootball

Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano hailed Serie A leaders and treble chasers Inter as ‘one of the best teams in the world.’ The former Fiorentina coach addressed the media in the build-up to tomorrow’s top-five six-pointer at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

“We must be 100 percent focused over the full 90 minutes because Inter know how to unravel the weaknesses of their opponents,” Italiano said, as transmitted by TMW. “They are truly a complete team with talent in every area, including off the bench.

“We can only hope they’ll be a little tired by all these matches, but we know what to expect. Inter are so well-drilled now, they can play with their eyes closed.

“Our home performances have always been good and we need to give our best after the defeat with Atalanta. What we’ve done over the last three months cannot be destroyed by one game.

“We must not change our approach now, nor lose our confidence, even if tomorrow we are facing one of the best teams in the world.”

Itailano’s assessment couldn’t be more accurate. Indeed, Inter are firing on all cylinders and remain firmly in contention for three major trophies this season. However, Bologna could throw a spanner in the works in their first Serie A match on Easter Sunday since 1978.

The Rossoblu held Inter to a goal-glutted 2-2 draw in this season’s reverse fixture. That’s not to mention they had beaten the reigning Scudetto holders in consecutive home league meetings before a narrow 1-0 loss last term.
