Italian “With Monaco, it’s not an affordable race.”

BOLOGNA (ITALPRESS) – “Affordable match? I never thought so. I think now we have to look for the performance to get the result, especially in front of our audience. Here with Shaktar we performed well, but also with Liverpool and Aston Villa. However, now we need something more and tomorrow we have to try to do that. Should it become affordable, we will find out at the end. Monaco is traveling strong, they are a team in confidence and we have to raise the bar.” Thus Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano in a press conference on the eve of their Champions League engagement against Monaco. The Champions playoffs “we will try to reach them without the obsession of performing above our level. I came from the Conference and I saw very strong teams in Europe, but what I am seeing in Champions is something we were not used to. Our goal is to try to get in what are the 24: If we make it it will mean that we will have done a great job. Champions though for us has to be growth and the obsession is playing well, not the standings,” the Emilian’s coach said again. – Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
