Satisfied, determined and with the usual desire to raise the bar: after the 1-1 draw against Napoli at the Dall'Ara, Vincenzo Italiano, Bologna coach, introduced himself to the microphones of Dazn with words full of pride for the performance of his boys.
"I'm happy, because I saw a great second half. We are giving continuity not only in the results, but also in the performances. Napoli is one of the strongest teams in the championship, so this point has a great value", declared the rossoblù coach, underlining the strength of his team's reaction after conceding the goal.
Italian then stressed his regret for the missed opportunity Castro in the final, which could have given the rossoblù a very important victory: “That ball, if it had gone in, would have rewarded our aggressive second half. We put a lot of balls into the area, maybe we could have used them better. In the first half they put us in difficulty, but in the second half we were aggressive, courageous, and we kept them in their half of the field”.
The coach's gaze is now turned to the end of the season, with a tough calendar full of direct clashes, but also with a team that does not seem to want to stop surprising. “One for all, all for one: this is the spirit I want from now until the end. Every boy gives his best, even if he comes in for just a few minutes. The mentality seen today must accompany us until the last day”.

Bologna did well in the second half but I noticed that there were many mistakes during the match too. It's true that Napoli is strong, but we have to be more precise in our chances and not let points slip away like that.
