Arnautović celebrates 100 days at Bologna which, as remembered by M. Vitali in Il Resto del Carlino, were full of emotions. Welcomed in July with a sea of red and blue fans in front of the I Portici hotel, Marko enchanted everyone with his determination, leadership and professionalism, as well as his five goals scored, almost all made after the 75 ‘and three of the which were important to bring home some points.
“He did his job – you will say – given that he is one of the highest paid players in Bologna history “. However, it is only right to look at the work done so far, like a real president, and to praise it. Then the cost-benefit analysis will take place in May, as Vitali writes, but for the moment we cannot fail to acknowledge that he has made a difference within the team, confirming the expectations of the five hundred fans who have paralyzed the center of Bologna on July 26, when the long-awaited designated messiah of Mihajlović’s attack arrived in the city.
On the scoreboard of the first eleven matches, the goal is scored against Salernitana, won 3-2 in comeback, at Genoa on a penalty, ended in a draw, at Empoli, then lost 4-2, and last at Cagliari, won 2-0 , in addition to the goal against Ternana in the “defeat of the Italian Cup”. With these, we also add Svanberg’s assist to the match goal, against Verona.
Arnautović has also spoken the language of Mihajlović since his prime
day in Casteldebole: concentration, determination, leadership, motivational reproaches to teammates (but also to himself) and ferocious defensive retreats, as an added defender.
All this was not taken for granted, and this is perhaps the best surprise.
