Bologna need a point against Lazio tomorrow night to stay up, but their Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is focused only on victory.

The Rossoblu are currently sitting in 14th position in the Serie A table on 40 points, three ahead of Genoa, who have now been leapfrogged by Empoli.

“Our goal is to achieve mathematical safety, after that we can think about finishing as high up the table as possible,” said Mihajlovic in his Press conference.

Bologna need a point against Lazio tomorrow night to stay up, but their Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is focused only on victory.

The Rossoblu are currently sitting in 14th position in the Serie A table on 40 points, three ahead of Genoa, who have now been leapfrogged by Empoli.

“Our goal is to achieve mathematical safety, after that we can think about finishing as high up the table as possible,” said Mihajlovic in his Press conference.

“We have two games left and we have to try and get all six points, and if we do, I believe we can finish in 10th place.

“I’m happy to be returning to the Stadio Olimpico to play against Lazio, we know we are playing a strong team, but they already qualified for the Europa League by winning the Coppa Italia.

“We also know we will face a team with nothing to lose, while we, on the other hand, have to win. It won’t be easy, they will make it difficult for us, but if we play like we know we can, we can get a result.

“They are a physical team, but are highly technical at the same time. The Coppa Final might not have been a very exciting game, but both sides’ put in a lot of effort and played with intensity. In my opinion, the Biancocelesti deserved to win it.”

The 50- year-old tactician was called a “gypsy” by a police officer who was on duty outside the Stadio Olimpico before the Coppa Italia Final.

At first, the Serbian technician believed it had been a Lazio fan who had insulted him, but it later turned out to be a member of law enforcement.

“I spoke about what happened because a Lazio fan was wrongly accused, and I was sorry for those fans. I can also understand the tension the policeman was under, to a certain extent, considering the situation outside the stadium.

“They all apologised, even the head of the Digos law enforcement agency, who called me personally. I don’t want to sue anyone, if a Lazio fan had not been falsely accused, I wouldn’t have spoken about what happened.

“It is always wrong to insult someone racially. Too often we pretend like it has never happened, and nobody ever says anything about it, but of course, I’ve never had anyone say something like that to my face.”
