"We got to a point where we accepted too easily to lose". Pippo Inzaghi started there to talk about his Bologna. He's worked psychologically with the players ("It seemed like they were convinced they weren't strong"), has touched the right strings to get back on track after a complicated start: "I'll say it immediately: I'm very frank with the players - has told Inzaghi to Il Corriere dello Sport - I'm trying to explain everything without turning around the issue".
Forwards that score goals and defenders who work to avoid allowing the opposition scoring. Inzaghi's football is simple, but his players need to be aware of their qualities because the victory comes from the mind: "Look at what happened against Roma: I sure got angry after the game. The day before, I told them I believe them, that they could do it. The coach can't be the only to believe in it, it has to start from the players".
Pippo's will is the same that the one he had as a player: "I liked what we showed against Udinese. It's the same I did when I was playing and training. My players have it inside of them. I'd like us to become a troublemaker team in the league. What have I understood of Bologna in these months? There's an incredible, unconditional and underserved affection. I want to make these fans find passion again. I'd like these fans to be proud again. And even dream, maybe: between a few years we could compete for other things than avoiding relegation. I'm a dreamer".
Inzaghi then talks about some of his players: "I didn't ask anything to Santander because he's very generous. Destro? He's giving me a lot, I can't complain. I hope he gets to score a goal soon. But I trust him. Orsolini? I want to put him in the best conditions. I hope he can play as a starter in the mezz'ala position, but to do it he still has to grow".
