Roberto Donadoni concedes Bologna “lost many individual duels” in their 3-0 defeat to Roma.

The Rossoblu had started very well with two great chances in the opening three minutes, but couldn’t resist the devastating pace of Mohamed Salah, who bagged a hat-trick.

“We must try to take the positives from this, even with a 3-0 result, as we knew our campaign would be a difficult one,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

The Rossoblu had started very well with two great chances in the opening three minutes, but couldn’t resist the devastating pace of Mohamed Salah, who bagged a hat-trick.

“We must try to take the positives from this, even with a 3-0 result, as we knew our campaign would be a difficult one,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

Roma caused us problems on the counter and we definitely weren’t too defensive, but perhaps got a little scared. Roma’s attacks were all into space precisely because we were pro-active, but we lost many individual duels and that was the main issue.

“Fortunately going forward our fixture list should be a little simpler from now on.”

Bologna missed many top players, above all Simone Verdi, who will be out for three months following ankle surgery.

“It was a very young line-up today. It’ll be difficult to replace Verdi, while Vasilis Torosidis and Mattia Destro weren’t fully fit either. Umar Sadiq had a decent game and fought hard, although he can improve exponentially.”
