The rossoblù coach, on the eve of the match against Salernitana, remembers the bombing of his Serbia and launches an appeal: “We must all make a contribution”
The Russia-Ukraine conflict cannot leave Sinisa Mihajlovic indifferent that the war in her own country has felt and experienced it. “I read a sentence, that the rich make war but the poor die – says the Bologna coach -. I remember my country, we won the Champions Cup and there was a war. When we won with Lazio it was Scudetto bombed. I always hoped that my training would last a whole day so as not to think about the war, because you would go home and see, listen, watch on television what was happening. I remember when I heard the planes take off in Aviano I called my mother to say : ‘Look, in ten minutes they will bomb you, get underneath, in the cellar.’ I just hope that, from the first, the news of the war does not soon become the second, the third or the fourth and after a month there will be no more talk of it. make a contribution “.
Target
–
After the saving victory against Spezia, after 61 days of fasting from three points, Bologna against Salernitana is looking for confirmation. “Before beating the Ligurians I said that I always want to see the positive side: now that we have won we are less than two from our seasonal goal but tomorrow there is Salerno, which is not only a wonderful city, it is a team with exceptional fans. . To Salernitana Sabatini (to whom a great friendship binds me, she is a beautiful person) did a great job in a short time and I hope they will be saved by winning all the races except the one against us. The Salernitana is at stake for her life, I know how we feel in those moments: we have to isolate ourselves and focus on ourselves, knowing that we are stronger than them but it is not enough. And we must not make mistakes with what I call AIC: attitude, intensity and concentration. We know what the our goal, that is the left-wing ranking, and I am confident of being able to achieve it “.
Me and Bologna
–
The club cyclically dreams of the extra step: when will the next step be taken? “The leap in quality? I hope to make 60-70 points with Bologna, here I am fine, everything we have been through together, I am an honorary citizen and this city will always remain in my heart whatever happens for everything it has done for me . Here I would like to win something, since I have won a lot as a player: in Bologna there are all the conditions, you have to see how long it takes. I’m happy to be coach of Bologna, then in a month, in three, in a year we will see. We must maintain the inner balance: it is valid for football, it is valid for life. If I had not had it, I would not have overcome everything that has happened to me in life. ” As for the words of Nicola Sansone, in the interview published today in the Gazzetta dello Sport: “Nicola and I? I don’t feel like someone who only gives sparks, they tell me that I am an iron sergeant, one who breaks the bales, but I have always had a great relationship with the players. Often when the presidents sent me away the boys came to greet me. As for me, am I still the one who said ‘If I have to fight for tenth place, I’m on the couch’? Yes, I’m ambitious: then what if around the world the world changes, as Rocky said, the world can be changed. For Bologna I have a weakness, maybe if it had been another club I would have reacted differently in other situations. I’m the same as before but perhaps more reflective: because when you pass certain things you understand that the problems are other and different, the perspective is different “.
Arnautovic and dinner
–
Against Salernitana, the high character figure shown last Monday will have to be maintained. “We are all obsessed with the three points and often you don’t consider the process to get to those three points: it was not easy to change form and mentality, system and even approach – says Sinisa -. We went back to doing what we did before, the guys were good because it was not easy and obvious to put into practice the novelty. The fans also helped us, showing that there is a cohesion between them and the players, the fact that they came the day before showed that they are with the players and not against. The comparisons are always constructive and we won also thanks to them: because the players felt supported. Schouten? After four months without playing I knew he would have problems, but he is intelligent. He is our washing machine, I I expect a further qualitative leap from him and I hope he will become the brain of our midfield, a professor. For us he is a fundamental player. Arnautovic? He did what he had to do, did Arnautovic, n We didn’t take it to go to dinner together. Barrow? He got hit but I always tell him ‘you have to worry when you don’t get hit’. The new module (3-4-3, ed) is expensive for which everyone is needed and everyone has always made a contribution even if they have seen each other less “.
