Italian’s Choices

Juric’s choices

On the other side, Bologna coach Ivan Juric has deployed Dovbyk as a central striker, supported by Soulé and Pisilli. The midfield is entrusted to Cristante and Koné, with Celik and El Shaarawy positioned on the wings to give width to the maneuver.

Bologna’s strategy is based on a combination of high pressing and rapid counterattacks, with the aim of surprising the opposing defence.
