Sinisa Mihajlovic is again frustrated with Bologna’s inconclusive finishing after a 1-0 defeat to Roma. ‘It’s the same thing every week.’
The Rossoblu had the same old problems, namely they created chances and failed to convert them, losing to a Borja Mayoral counter-attack on the stroke of half-time.
Sinisa Mihajlovic is again frustrated with Bologna’s inconclusive finishing after a 1-0 defeat to Roma. ‘It’s the same thing every week.’
The Rossoblu had the same old problems, namely they created chances and failed to convert them, losing to a Borja Mayoral counter-attack on the stroke of half-time.
“If you saw my interview last week, it’s the same thing. We create, we play well, we use up so much energy and go into the break 1-0 down. Unacceptable,” Mihajlovic told Sky Sport Italia.
“I cannot say anything more, because the lads did what they had to do, but it’s the same thing as the game before and the game before that and the game before that.
“Especially against the big clubs, we have more possession, more shots on goal, more chances and no points. Compliments are a pointless consolation when we keep leaving empty-handed. It’s disappointing. It’s irritating. We are so close and never get there.”
Mihajlovic asked many times for a centre-forward, but was not rewarded by the club.
“I don’t know if a centre-forward will arrive, I don’t know what we’ll talk about then. The situation now is that we need to secure our safety against Spezia and Torino.
“It’s a pity, as after Inter last week, we again did not deserve to lose 1-0 against teams that on paper are much stronger than us. You didn’t see the difference on the pitch, and if anything we were superior in both matches.
“We always played on level terms, we have not been steam-rollered by anyone. It keeps happening and that means we’re missing something.”
Mihajlovic then got into a discussion with Sky Sport Italia pundit Giancarlo Marocchi, defending his call for Roberto Soriano to play for Italy.
“The first time Soriano went to play for Italy, he was at Sampdoria and scored eight goals. He played in a 4-3-3 there. So why do you think he’s better in a diamond than a 4-3-3, because he doesn’t defend? Then go and look at the number of fouls in Serie A, it’s first Juraj Kucka and second Soriano. That means he is defending.”
