Italian “Liverpool strong, we don’t want to be an extra”

LIVERPOOL (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “For the first away matchwe are here in a fantastic stage, and let’s see if tomorrowwe can give a great performance and leave here with our heads held high. I told the guys that the goal has to bethat, knowing the strength of our opponents, the great capacity especially here at home to exalt themselves. We will counter blow by blow.” Thus Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano, from Anfield Stadium, on the eve of the Champions League match against Liverpool. “The principles are that we have to go hard, do better everything we have done so far, because they have the ability to put you in trouble from all points of view: they know how to dribble, attack you, if you are very timid they jump on you, they send a lot of men inside the half. We have to play our game trying each of us to give our best,” Italiano added. “We don’t want to be extras, we want to play our games from 1′ to 90′ with pride, courage and showing off our skills. But then we also have to face the championship, where we also have to try to go up again and where we will have a game before a break, and we have to try to give our best,” the Rossoblù coach stressed again. “I told the guys, ‘Let’s focus, this is a mini tournament, we need to score points. Let’s try to optimize everything that can be optimized.’ Liverpool is strong, in the first round they beat Milan, in the league they are going strong. We know where we came from, we would miss them, but we want to play our chances and we will try to put them in trouble,” concluded Italiano.- Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
