A day of rest and then back to work in Castelebole to prepare for the final act of the season. Vincenzo Italiano's rossoblù will digest the defeat at Franchi on the pitch on Tuesday, with training scheduled to resume at 11am. Martin Erlic will definitely not be there, still struggling with the recovery process from the injury suffered against Milan at the Meazza and Juan Miranda, sent off yesterday, will also miss the Genoa match. The Spanish full-back will end his first year in rossoblù with 37 games in all competitions and 6 assists, the result of a crescendo that has led him to be a certainty in Italiano's eleven. Speaking of the challenge at the Grifone, its timing will also be clearer today. The time and especially the day of the last match of the season are still to be defined, with the Lega Serie A that should communicate what has been arranged. The big red and blue celebration for the conquest of the Coppa Italia will also depend on this decision, with the match against the Ligurians that should not be played on Sunday evening but brought forward precisely to allow the celebrations for the victory of a trophy that has been missing from the city for 51 years. On this issue too, we will have to understand what Bologna's intentions will be: with the Champions League, the tour with the open-top bus was successful, livening up the streets but also and above all Piazza Maggiore.

And speaking of the Coppa Italia, there are still those who remain ecstatic in front of the success at the Olimpico. Like Lykogiannis who wrote on Instagram: "It's been 3 days and I still can't believe it. We are proud and very happy, it was an unforgettable and emotional evening. What a wonderful party! We deserved to win because we believed in it and we owed it to these fantastic fans, to the city, to the club, to ourselves and to those close to us. Ps: the tactic of the photo of the cup stuck inside the locker worked".
