At the end of the match between Bologna and Sassuolo at the Dall’Ara Stadium, the Neroverdi coach, Fabio Grosso, spoke to the club’s official microphones during the press conference. Here are his statements.

Sassuolo, Grosso in the press conference after the draw with Bologna: “We’re holding on tight to Pinamonti, Muric has the potential to be a great goalkeeper”

After securing a draw at the Dall’Ara Stadium against Bologna thanks to Muharemovic’s goal, Sassuolo coach Fabio Grosso spoke at the press conference to comment on the match. Here are his words, as reported by tmw:

On Pinamonti

“Today Andrea played a fantastic match, with quality. He won many duels and cleaned up a lot of balls. I’m very happy with how he’s doing, it’s a pity because he could have been lethal. He’s a strong player, we’re keeping him and we’ll try to keep doing what we’re doing.”

On Muric

“He has the potential to be a great goalkeeper. He has great qualities and if he can recognize them better, he can really become top level.”

On Fadera

“Surely if he had scored, he would have been the best player on the pitch. The game was played at a high pace and that affected his composure in front of goal a bit. I’m glad that at the end of the match Muharemovic consoled him, because that’s what we work on during the week. Anyway, I saw him lively and the chance he wasted was one he created himself—I don’t know if we would have created it with someone else. I saw him right in the thick of the match and I like him because he’s football-intelligent. If he had a bit more ruthlessness, he’d be even stronger.”

On the draw

“They did well today and in this first phase of the season. Difficulties are always around the corner but we see them clearly. Both before the match and at halftime, I knew we could create a lot because Bologna can be put in trouble with courage. We did that, at times, and we want to keep improving.”

On the system of play

“Yes, I like to do it. Many teams play with wide wing-backs, we do things differently but I want to give courage to the players and propose our own ideas. I’d like, when we have balance in midfield, to have both full-backs able to create play. With the right composure, we’ll try to do our best.”

On the midfield

“The three in midfield are of excellent quality, they were in good shape and support our style of play. When they manage to do things well, they shift our center of gravity: they know how to combine physicality and technique, with quality and experience. I put fresh energy up front, I didn’t touch the rest.”

On the substitutions

“I changed the two wide players to bring some energy, then the others were doing well and I preferred to play like that. Pinamonti played a fantastic match, often helping us move up the pitch by winning duels with Lucumì.”
