In the 30th day of the championship, Bologna will try to continue its race towards qualification for the next Champions League against Salernitana, which in the break for the national teams has changed technical guidance again focusing on Stefano Colantuano. Just a few days before the challenge, the Felsina coach Thiago Motta, among other topics, did not want to expose himself too much regarding his own future.

"Me like Xabi Alonso? He made a respectable choice and I wish him the best. I’m here, I’m fine in Bologna and I’m only thinking about the next match against Salernitana, becauseè we still want to give cheer and joy to our people" began the coach of the felsinei.

"Salernitana è a complicated team to face becauseè individually they are strong. The change of coach canò give them new stimuli. We però will be ready for any kind of game and form. To prepare for the match we relied a lot on ourselves, our concentration and commitment" added the former Spezia coach.

"Joshua è as if he has never stopped. His è was a few days stop and è returned to the field quickly, always giving his all. Calafiori l've seen him well but I always see him well. He è a guy willing to do any role on the field because of the attitude and attitude he puts into everything he does. After the national team, despite the physical strain, he è immediately trained to the max. Riccardo believes in what he canò give to the team and he always does it to the fullest" concluded Thiago Motta.
