Tuttomercatoweb: Bernardeschi Returns to the Right Wing, Bologna Hope He Can Lead Them Out of Losing Streak

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Bernardeschi will return to the right wing, and Bologna hope he can lead them out of their losing streak.

After defeats to Lazio and Atalanta, Bologna will face Sassuolo, although the team's performances could have produced different results. Orsolini will not return until after the international break, while Jonathan Rowe's departure has further reduced the attacking options available to Tedesco. Bernardeschi has already shown positive signs: against Atalanta, he was only one goal away, with his shot inside the penalty area brilliantly saved by Carnesecchi. In this match, he will start on the right flank and also have more freedom of movement, using his technical ability to create threats between the lines.

According to today's edition of Corriere dello Sport, this positional arrangement also means Bernardeschi is returning to a familiar role after his preseason experiments. Tedesco had previously tried playing Bernardeschi as a central midfielder, hoping he could bring more technical quality to the midfield.

After playing in this position during preseason preparations and friendlies, Bernardeschi himself communicated with the head coach, saying that he had not yet reached the level required to provide consistent performances for Bologna as a central midfielder. However, Tedesco still believes in his potential in midfield. Once the team finds more balance and stability, Tedesco may try this arrangement again in the future. For now, Bologna's focus is on making the most of Bernardeschi's ability on the right wing and trying to recover the points lost in the opening two rounds against Sassuolo.
