In the first round of Serie A in the early morning of this morning, Bologna lost 0-1 away to Roma. Bologna coach Idalino was interviewed after the game.
Idalino first said: "In the first half hour of the game, we couldn't find the pass route, and we didn't seem to be in the game, but after that we gradually regained the rhythm. Although we created some opportunities, we knew we would have difficulties in the game. I am satisfied with the team's resilience and many other aspects, but when we take the ball, we have to improve the quality and accuracy of the game. If we can improve these aspects, we can threaten any opponent."
The new season of Serie A has begun, but the summer transfer period is still open. Just before the game, Bologna's main defender Lukumi was also rumored to have a transfer, and the player's agent publicly expressed his hope that Bologna would let Lukumi leave the team. In this game, Lukumi made a mistake in the penalty area, which led to Roma scoring the winning goal.
Idalino then publicly criticized the summer transfer period arrangement: "I don't know who wants to open the transfer market after the start of the season. To me, it's crazy and unacceptable. On the morning of the game, there were people on the phone with their agents, some wanted to leave the team, and some didn't want to play. This shouldn't happen! The transfer market must be closed before the official start of the new season. In my opinion, this situation is unfair at present, especially for the coach."
Italian forward veteran Immobile joined Bologna this summer. He started in this game but left the game with an injury in the 30th minute. Idalino said: "I feel sorry for him. He has an incredible desire to play, but I could see that he was a little strange and nervous before the game because he returned to the stadium where he had made history (Roman Olympic Stadium). I also joked with him and said, 'If you still have the strength, I will replace you in 6 minutes so you won't get hurt.'"
Idalino finally said: "I'm sorry, but the injury should not be very serious, it should be a strain on the back of the rectus femoris. He will recover, he performed very well in training and was in good health. We will help him recover as soon as possible."
