Bologna's Tedesco on Attack Changes: "Piccoli Ahead of Dovbyk, Castro's Exit Significantly Impacts Us"

Bologna's coach, Domenico Tedesco, speaking on the eve of their league debut against Lazio, also addressed the shifts in the team's attacking department, particularly the departure of Castro and the arrivals of Piccoli and Dovbyk. Here are some of his key statements:

How has the attack changed with Castro's departure?
"It has changed significantly because with Santiago, we had already established an important synergy. However, we knew that if the opportunity arose, he would be sold. We have found two alternative solutions with Dovbyk and Piccoli: Roberto is further along because he completed pre-season training, while Artem is progressing gradually. Nevertheless, we are happy."

Do you feel the pressure of your Italian debut?
"The greatest pressure comes from ourselves. I look for mistakes within myself, always starting with me: how I prepared training sessions and how I studied the opposing team."

What is pleasing you about the team's growth process?
"The team is growing in terms of personality when in possession of the ball. We want to play, and I am seeing growth in this aspect, but tomorrow we will have a clearer understanding because friendlies only tell us so much. I am eager to start playing for real."
