“This is going to be another difficult game, as Bologna really embody the soul of their coach, have strong individual talents and are a good team, but we have to continue winning,” Ranocchia told Inter TV.
“It’s an unusual kick-off time, it’s going to be hot, but we’ll have to see how head and legs respond. We are ready and have to give our all.
“The psychological aspect is making a difference just as the physical strain is when playing every three days, so I expect that’s why we’re seeing so many goals. We’ll try not to concede too many.”
Bologna have ex-Inter star Palacio on the bench today, but the 38-year-old has scored six goals with three assists in 28 Serie A games this season.
“Rodri is a great player, has experience and technique. It’ll be nice to see and hug him again,” said his former teammate.
