Meeting Highlights…SASSUOLO
We all have problems, we need to know how to deal with them. In the last match against Monza they were tied at 5 in the second half. We suffered them in the first leg, but every match has its own story and we will try to bring it to our side as always.
…INJURIES
Odgaard trained with us today, I've already spoken to him. The group is fine, ready for this match. Karlsson is training well, like everyone else, he has plenty of time to demonstrate that he can participate in the match.
…TEAM PERFORMANCE
I don't know if it's part of modern football, I know that the boys must have freedom to express themselves on the pitch, not only in the match but also in training. I'm very happy with my team, we've improved a lot since the beginning of the season, even if football is always changing, but we too must continue to change to try to put the next opponent in difficulty.

Davide Ballardini
Manager on Sassuolo…BOLOGNA
It's a growing Bologna that is doing well, at home they left few points to their opponents. They have physicality and they play, they must be limited due to their qualities but like all teams they concede and we will have to be good at exploiting the opportunities they grant us.
…INJURIES
Erlic and Bajrami are both fine, Bajrami wasn't well on the day of the match. They both trained and both will be available.
…TRANSFERS
I prefer to talk about Bologna, I didn't want to talk about it when it was open or even now that it's closed. We have to look forward, take responsibility and come out of the moment with courage and character. The right guys have arrived, it's important for me.
