A look to the past:

Mirante----->Milan
Tomiyasu---->Arsenal
Hickey------>Brentford
Masina------>Udinese
Pulgar------>Flamengo
Theate------>Rennes
Diawara----->Anderlecht
Svanberg---->Wolfsburg
Verdi------->Verona
Ferrari----->Sampdoria
Bani-------->Genoa

List order is not random.

Next Juventus vs Bologna: Di Maria - who got a red card for a reaction against Izzo - will not play.

Note: where it is not clear..this site is about BFC, meaning Bologna FC and NOT Bengaluru FC.. with respect for both the two football teams 🙂.

What about Eraldo Pecci underneeth? Our "rosso e blu" Play. Probably nothing comparable to any Bologna player of today: game vision, physicality and a great heart for our football team, where he grew up.. If you are a stickers collector you can't certainly miss his sticker.. And the Bologna miss him? He probably could have an important role in this Bologna, anything more than the president of a fan club, I mean..

Indeed Serie A is becoming a football league for saints. Facts: after st. Roberto De Zerbi nominated himself italian missionaire to Premier League following his refusal to Bologna FC for moral reasons, Lazio st. Claudio Lotito gives away refunds for the Europa League game lost against Midtjylland for 5 - 1. Cudoz to everyone for the empathy mode but the football biz is something a little different - almost from our perception.

On schedule: the next Serie A break for Italy, the national team, and soon after the game against a starving Juventus, in Turin. All waiting for the third night game at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara against Sampdoria to gain some home points left along the way.

No report on Musa Barrow leg conditions. This let us hope that nothing serious happened to him.

One stuff that I personally noticed - and not only yesterday, but along the past - is that Skorupski is among those Bologna players who - sometimes - lacks in communication with the other mates and this is a real pain to support, and not just like a fan but more like one normal people of this wide community making our world. However, it is difficult to attack Skorupski coming from a great year like he did with Bologna in the past season and just after a game, with Empoli, made by great saves.

Looking specifically to the episode of Empoli goal I found more surprising the Bologna defence settings on the right side of the field, starting from Lucumi. It is clear the Lumuci found Cambiaso on the Empoli man going to cross, it less clear for Lucumi what to do next.. and this is already surprising. But next we discover the wrong approach of Posch and Kasius, who are not late at all, but lack of that magic force to arrive first on the ball..
