Bologna Coach Reflects on Dramatic Comeback and Disappointing Draw Against Roma

Bologna’s head coach Vincenzo Italiano shared his thoughts on the team’s 2-2 draw with Roma in a post-match interview. He expressed disappointment over the lost opportunity, stating, “It’s a shame for the players. We threw away more points after an incredible comeback. This has happened before, where we’ve lost points in the final moments of matches. We’ll strive to improve, but I can only praise the team’s efforts.”

Italiano continued, “In the first half, our pace was too slow, but we improved in the second half. We had two or three chances to score a third goal but couldn’t convert them. There’s a bitter feeling about the points we let slip away.”

Regarding his tactical decisions, the coach explained, “I was undecided between Ferguson and Moro. Lewis delivered an excellent performance. While we need to focus on results, I’m proud that I can transmit my passion to the team. Today’s performance, despite the outcome, was still impressive.”

The match showcased Bologna’s resilience in mounting a comeback, but also highlighted the team’s struggle to maintain leads in crucial moments. Italiano’s comments reflect a mix of pride in his team’s fighting spirit and frustration at their inability to secure a victory from a winning position.
