In a press conference, two days before the match against Cagliari, Bologna coach Raffaele Palladino addressed various topics relating to the individual players in his squad, with a particular focus on Ferguson and Mbangula.
“How is Ferguson seeing?” a journalist began. Palladino replied: "I believe that Ferguson is a player who can give us leadership and is fundamental both in the possession phase and in the retreat phase. He is a key element for our game and for the morale of the team. Furthermore, El Azzouzi and Moro are growing and must feel important. I don't leave anyone behind."
Among the questions received, one concerned Odgaard's position: "I tried him in various situations on the pitch. I wanted to train him to understand his characteristics and what was the best role for him, given that I only knew him as an opponent. I see him as a striker or sub-striker: he has the characteristics to be able to do it and in these positions he will be useful to us."
The debate then moved on to who among Enem, Dovbyk or Odgaard could be in pole position for a starting place. Palladino replied: "They have different characteristics: Dovbyk is more of an area player, Enem is good at filling the area but is better at tying up the game, while Odgaard can start from the beginning if we want to play a certain type of match. I would like all three to be able to believe that they are starters in Cagliari. We also tried different solutions because without Piccoli we will lose certain characteristics."
Regarding Mbangula, the coach said: "I see him well as a sub striker. He is also improving in condition, but he just needs to play to gain more confidence and continuity." Palladino then underlined the importance of involving all the players: "On Monday I told the team that everyone must feel involved because I'm not leaving anyone behind. Vitik, Amondarain, Alhassane, they all have to go as fast as they are doing because they will have the opportunity. They must be hungry to get a starting shirt."
The conference ended with a reminder of the unity of the group and the importance of each individual player, underlining how Bologna is working to best face the next championship challenge, aiming for a convincing performance against Cagliari.
What happens now
With the match against Cagliari on the horizon, Palladino is evaluating the best player combinations to maximize the team's performance. Mbangula, who needs game time, could find space to prove his worth. Furthermore, the choice between Enem, Dovbyk and Odgaard for the starting striker role will be decisive for Bologna's tactical approach in the next Serie A match.
