Luciano Spalletti arrived somewhat relieved at the official post match press conference after the 3-0 win in the Serie A against Bologna: “We conceded little tonight and even before the goal we had good chances of scoring. However, it is clear that we have to do more, but in our defense we faced a Bologna that really knew how to play against us, staying in the game with a logical way of playing. We did well in taking advantage of the space given to us.”

Your opinions of the performance of Nainggolan?

“He needs to improve his physical condition, he scores a lot of these kinds of goals as a norm. I know that you guys like passe or goals, but for me the performance when you bust your ass off is what counts. We need to take shots and it is necessary to get people in that position because this put your opponent in difficulty although they are well organized.”

Five goals and none from Icardi, is this good news?

“Actually we have been looking for alternatives. We have a squad that can play two games a week, but today we lacked two important players and nonetheless the team scored three goals. We have strengthened the team exactly the way we wanted. Then of course we have to win games, we have to do that even though we play a lot of games. Last year we failed in doing that, now we have new solutions and we already see the result of that.”
