51 years after the last time, Bologna returns to the final of the Italian Cup: Fabbian and DalLlyga open and close the challenge that sees the rossoblù folding Empoli also on the return, after the 3-0 of Castellani, confirming the Dall’Ara an impregnable fort: Kovalenko is not enough for the Tuscans. Vincenzo Italiano and his boys write a page of history of the rossoblù club, a page that the technician already knows being at the second final in the last 4 years, after the one played and lost with Fiorentina. After the lost finals of the Italian Cup and Conference (2) with Viola, the technician will have the opportunity to give and treat himself to a different epilogue and turn the page on May 14 in Rome, against Milan, in a match that will make a place in the Europa League. While waiting, Bologna also runs and again for the Champions League. Italian, however, prefers not to mind and do not trust even the three goals ahead and the 0-3 with which the rossoblù had conquered Empoli in the first leg. The technician opts for a reasoned turn over, but he confirms the backbone of his team with Beukema and lucumi at the center of the defense, Freuler in the median and the flagship, with Orsolini, Cambiaghi and Fabbian in support. It is Bologna True against an Empoli remodeled, with a d’Avesa offering space for players who have returned from accident and looking for a condition, saving owners for the championship and Fiorentina.
