BOLOGNA (ITALPRESS) – “The level is high. We start by facing an experienced opponent in this competition like Shakhtar Donetsk. With this new format, however, we have the chance, especially at home, to show what we are worth. Starting tomorrow. We have to be ready.” Thus Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano on the eve of the Champions League debut against the Ukrainian team. “The excitement of the debut is certainly great, it is the most prestigious, beautiful and followed competition in all of Europe,” explains the Rossoblù coach, who is preparing for his ‘first’ in the top continental tournament after doing great things in Conference with Fiorentina. “In the previous two years I had the opportunity to be a protagonist on a path that led us to two European finals that then did not end well, but the important thing is the path, it’s what makes you grow, forms you and gives you great cues to continue to improve,” added Italiano. “We will go to glorious stadiums against opponents who have laid down the law in Europe, it will be a beautiful and exciting journey that we will live with great pride. We do not want to be extras, we will try to give the best of Bologna in every match.”- Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
