Thiago Motta assures Bologna will not change their ‘approach’ to Jose Mourinho’s Roma in this head-to-head for fourth place.
It kicks off at the Stadio Dall’Ara at 17.00 GMT.
This is a pure head-to-head for fourth place, as the two teams are locked together on points, so the winner will leapfrog Napoli.
The coach was asked if he and the squad are starting to sense the growing ambition and enthusiasm from the city.
“We have always felt the passion and enthusiasm of the fans, it helps us prepare in the best way possible. We will do our job again today, as always,” Thiago Motta told DAZN.
Roma are known for being a defend and counter team, especially now that Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala are unavailable, but it makes no difference for the Rossoblu.
“We will take the approach we always do at home, trying to impose our style of play. We are up against one of the big clubs in our league, who were built to challenge for the Champions League.”
Thiago Motta was asked if he had been in contact with Mourinho in the build-up to the match, seeing as they are friends who worked together at Inter?
“No,” he smiled.
