In a post-match interview after the 0-2 defeat away to Liverpool in the Champions League, Bologna player Orsolini expressed his pride in his team's performance and his adherence to their tactical philosophy. Orsolini said that even though his team failed to win the match, they were proud of the fighting spirit and principles they showed in the game. He emphasized that playing at a place like Anfield is a huge challenge for any team, and the fact that Bologna, as a relatively weak team, was able to come here and show such strong fighting spirit and pride made the loss not so bitter.
Speaking about the restrictions imposed on Liverpool, Orsolini said the team minimized the early onslaught of their opponents and went into the game with fight and desire. Despite some mistakes, the team knows that unity can make up for mistakes. He mentioned that Bologna created a lot of chances in the game, including shots that hit the post and crossbar, which showed that they were not without chances to win the game. Orsolini also said that the team came to Anfield with humility and courage, an attitude that deserves praise.
In addition, Orsolini spoke about the team's tactical philosophy. He revealed that head coach Italo conveyed the idea of attacking forward from the very beginning, and that the team tried to find opportunities to attack deep and up front. Despite the fact that it is not easy to do so at Anfield, Bologna try to practice this philosophy. Orsolini believes that the team needs to take some risks and responsibilities when playing in this way, but that's why they showed a great night.
