Coach Delio Rossi calls Bologna's 2-1 defeat to Udinese ‘our best game yet’, while defending Mattia Destro: ‘He’s not the problem’.

The former Roma and Milan striker was the biggest transfer for the Felsinei this summer, but so far he notched no goals in any of the five games he played, including today's defeat.

“We lost, but the individual episodes did not go our way,” Rossi told Rai Sport after the game.

Coach Delio Rossi believes Mattia Destro will reward his team ‘in due time’, whilst thanking Bologna supporters.

It’s been a rough start to the season for the Petroniani as they go into tomorrow’s game against Frosinone, played at 2p.m. UK time, as the only two teams still with zero points in the standings.

But they have not lost the support of their fans, as 500 of them showed up at the team’s base in Casteldebole this morning.

Delio Rossi describes his Bologna side as ‘a work in progress’ after defeat to Sampdoria.

Bologna visit Sampdoria in a rescheduled match, with Eder and Luis Muriel leading the line for the hosts.

The match was called off yesterday after storms in Genoa, and will instead take place tonight.

Italian international Mattia Destro will lead the line for the visitors in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Franco Brienza, Anthony Mounier and Emmanuele Giaccherini in support.

Sampdoria Coach Walter Zenga sticks with his tried-and-tested front-two of Eder and Luis Muriel, with Roberto Soriano just in behind in a 4-3-1-2 system.

Mattia Destro reveals Bologna’s ‘important project’ convinced him to sign for the newly-promoted side.

The striker spent the second half of last season at Milan, but the Rossoneri opted not to make the deal permanent, and he returned to Roma.

The capital club then tried to sell him to Monaco, which Destro rejected, before eventually agreeing to join the Rossoblu.

Delio Rossi warns Bologna fans not to expect miracles from Mattia Destro against Lazio on his debut tomorrow.

“Destiny wanted me to start this adventure with a team and environment that I know very well,” said the former Lazio Coach in his Press conference.

Mattia Destro was greeted by 400 supporters upon arriving to Bologna, where he claimed he was 'very happy' to be there.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 24-year-old was greeted by a crowd of over 400 supporters at the train station and had to make his way through them.
