Gabbiadini: “We need points quickly and face a direct rival on Wednesday”
After scoring such a wonderful goal, there’s an even bigger feeling of frustration for the striker after the team’s 2-1 defeat. His left-footed strike confirmed Bologna’s status as his favourite opponents, but it was unfortunately not enough to leave the Stadio Dall’Ara with a share of the spoils. “We need to give more because we’re going home without any points. We have an important week ahead of us. The boss is bringing calmness to the squad, but we also have to react. We need to fight. We aren’t down and out, which is important to understand. We need many positive results and have to start picking them up.

“Things aren’t going well, but it’s down to us to turn it around. We mustn’t become disjointed when things are going badly. We have to look at the facts. Our league position doesn’t lie, but we have to lift our heads, look one another in the eye and react. We have a big game on Wednesday against a direct rival. Does it bother me that it’s a game against a direct rival? That’s how it is. We thought and hoped we would be higher in the table, but this is the situation. As for Quagliarella, he doesn’t play on his own and if he doesn’t score, it’s not his fault, but it means the team isn’t performing as it should. What matters is that we score goals collectively, regardless of who it is, because we need points quickly.”
