Orsolini Praises Palladino, Tedesco Not Mentioned

Bologna earned their fourth consecutive win under new head coach Raffaele Palladino. The team won 2-1 away at Parma and is climbing the table. Three of the last four matches were played away, and wins over Cagliari, Milan, Monza and Parma made up that run.

Bologna got off to a poor start to the season, managing only one point in their first four Serie A matches under Domenico Tedesco. All three of their defeats ended 1-0. Tedesco was dismissed on 16 September and replaced by Palladino. Under the new coach the team opened with a draw, then won five of the next six matches. The only defeat in that period came against Inter, 3-1.

Orsolini spoke to DAZN Italia after the match. The forward said the coach had quickly brought the group together, that the club had done good work in previous years, and that the core of the squad had been kept despite important players leaving in the summer. Orsolini also mentioned the Thiago Motta and Vincenzo Italiano periods but did not include Tedesco in his list.

Orsolini has scored twice in five matches this season. He returned to celebrate a goal after roughly a month out with a thigh injury. The forward said the team had rediscovered its smile and that he did not know how far they could go, but they wanted to enjoy the journey together.
