Bologna coach Thiago Motta is looking forward to their test with Jose Mourinho's Roma.

Motta admits he's a big admirer of the Special One.

He said, “Mourinho was and continues to be a great coach. I don't believe in luck, he deserved everything he has achieved up to now.

“He worked a lot, if you look at his story as a child he loved football, even though he didn't play at high levels, which is why his career is even more important.

“Great respect and admiration, I love him forever and wish him great luck… he knows it, but I hope he doesn't have luck against us on Sunday."

The Bologna coach also stated: “They have great players, we will still have to be good in the defensive phase, they defend very well, they have no problems defending with a low block, but they also know how to be aggressive.

“In any case we will have to be patient, exploit the spaces, avoid counterattacks, and persist in this game because it's convenient for us.

“In the last 15 minutes they score a lot, they know what they want, and we will have to be at our best to do what we know."
