"Let's not take an example from our governments that make decrees so fucking hard that there is no logic. We have to be more lucid. I shouldn't have said this but I said it, it came to me like this."
This was stated in the press conference on the eve of the home match against Cagliari, the Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic who replied with this comparison to those who asked him if his team should aim for a free striker, such as the Croatian Mario Mandzukic in light of the injury suffered by the Santander tip.
"In these difficult situations - he added - we must not panic, anxiety: we must stay with our feet on the ground, think. We must remain lucid and do things with logic". Recently, always in an intertwining between sport and politics, the Serbian coach, commenting on the opening decided by the president of Emilia-Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini, of the regional plants to a quota of spectators, had said, referring to the governor: "he did something brave, he didn't even look left wing." Remaining instead on the theme of the squad cut down by injuries, in particular after the one suffered by the Santander striker, Mihajlovic limited himself to observing that there is nothing on the free transfer market that can satisfy us. Taking to take does not suit me: so, then we see what happens ". Mandzukic's name, he added, addressing reporters, "I've never heard of it, I hear it from you, Mandzukic. It's not that we don't need it, I don't want to take to take. He's a free agent - concluded the coach of the Bologna - and he has to get back in shape: a big guy like that, two months pass, he arrives in January "before he's ready".
