Bologna: Italiano on Udinese trip, why Immobile misses out | OneFootball

In view of tomorrow's match, Udinese-Bologna, which will reopen Serie A after the international break, Vincenzo Italiano spoke at a press conference to the club's official microphones.

Bologna, Immobile not called up for the match against Udinese: Italiano: “I'll explain the reason for his absence”

Vincenzo Italiano, ahead of the match against Udinese tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 PM at the Dacia Arena, spoke at a press conference. Here are his statements, reported by tmw:

On his health condition

“I'm improving, I took quite a hit. I'll still carry some aftereffects, but I feel good and little by little I'll be back to 100%. I was very worried because I wasn't well for 10 days. I thank the team at Sant'Orsola and Dr. Nava, they treated me perfectly. I watched the Bucharest and Florence games from the hospital, and I must say it's better live because you can vent any nervousness by interacting with the staff and experiencing the match. Well done Daniel Niccolini and the boys who respected the staff and achieved results that allowed us to continue our positive streak. Now the cold has arrived too, and we have to manage many things, but I see the boys very focused.”

On the standings

“It's nice, we look at it, but it doesn't mean much. We are at the twelfth matchday, and it's too early to define objectives. We must nurture all the enthusiasm and confidence that have allowed us to achieve results.”

On Immobile

“He's better, he's pushed more these days but still doesn't feel 100% and we prefer to leave him here. In the last week, he's grown and is overcoming the fear he has. In recent days he had strange sensations and was limiting himself in pushing because he's recovering from a significant injury.”

On Sulemana

“He must be ready, when he's called upon I'm sure he'll do well. He's a serious guy who's training well, but in his role at the moment there are guys who are doing well.”

On Pessina

“I was calm when I had to throw him into the field against Napoli, maybe he was the one who was agitated. However, after the first touches, he loosened up and showed confidence in his plays. He's a guy I like, he's always smiling, I give him many compliments for how he's behaving.”

On Dominguez

“He's a young guy. Even Dallinga struggled at first because he didn't know the language, the coach's method, and wasn't in sync with his teammates, and now he feels like a different player and person. I think this happened to Dominguez too. He will play tomorrow because it's right to give him this opportunity, also because he has always trained in silence and has been benched not due to his own shortcomings but because in his role – like Sulemana – there are equally valid guys.”

On the formation

“No. We opted at the start of the season for a long squad because we knew we would face these situations. We deliberately decided with the club to have a wider range of choices. Cambiaghi and Rowe will be missing, but we have Bernardeschi, and someone can be adapted as a winger, so I think there's no need to change the formation.”

On the championship

“The standings are tight, there are many teams within a few points, and I'm sure those who are struggling now will start scoring points again. Then now with the heavy pitches, other values will emerge. It's still early to outline the standings, at least 5 more matches are needed.”

On the desire

“Certainly an empty infirmary and then trying to have a standings that make us smile. Everything we are building with our fans, we must protect it. Anyway, first of all, I would like to have everyone available and no one sad because they can't be part of the group due to physical problems.”
