Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano addressed the media following his team’s 2-2 draw against Como. The match saw Como take a 2-0 lead through an own goal by Nicolo Casale and a strike from Patrick Cutrone, before Bologna fought back with goals from Santiago Castro and Samuel Iling-Junior.
Italiano began by analyzing the match: “Many of Como’s opportunities arose from our errors, and they were clever to capitalize on them. We give away too many balls and don’t perceive the danger. In the second half, thanks to the substitutes, we managed to raise our defensive line and put them under pressure. We need to improve from a technical standpoint.”
The Bologna coach continued, emphasizing the need for growth: “The team must improve. In these four matches, our technical efficiency has been too low. All teams at this moment are not perfect, and we are no exception. I’m pleased with the spirit shown by the substitutes. Castro and Iling Jr. provided that extra something to help us achieve the draw.”
Italiano concluded by discussing the team’s progress: “Our journey has just begun; we know where we need to improve. This draw is an injection of confidence ahead of our Champions League match.”
