Riccardo Orsolini is happy playing for Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

The midfielder scored twice in their 3-2 defeat of Lecce on Sunday.

"When a player is going through a poor spell, Sinisa doesn't let the concentration drop," he told Sky Sport Italia. “He knows where to poke me to get a reaction.

“I am happy with how he manages me. I have a special relationship with him, the disease has connected us even more."

There was an incident involving Gary Medel and the returning coach, but the 22-year-old laughed it off.

“Gary was brave to challenge Mihajlovic! They didn't understand each other and, inside the dressing room, they clarified everything and shook hands.

“For me, Mihajlovic is a special person. He knows how to handle me. I do everything he tells me and I simply follow his directions."
