“It’s the right place to raise my daughters”
Bologna, December 26, 2022 – The 8 goals in the first part of the championshipthe centrality in Bologna of Thiago Motta which has never been in question, the warmth of the rossoblù fans who very rarely, in recent years, had so identified themselves in a player of the club.
Marko Arnautović rossoblù center forward is like the church placed in the center of the village. And in these hours the Austrian nationalready to get back on the road with Bologna that the January 4thwhen the championship resumes, he will face Roma at the Olimpico, he wanted to pay homage to a city that after a year and a half stay in the rossoblù feels a bit like his second home.
“Bologna is the right place to raise my two daughters (Emilia, aged 10, and Alicia, aged 7, ed.)” said the rossoblù center forward in ainterview granted to ‘Sportweek‘. The girls go horse riding: “We have our own horses”, reveals the center forward.
“The city is organised, the people are respectful. Then the climate: up until two months ago I rode half sleeves”. Almost spring compared to Florisdorf, the Vienna neighborhood where Arnautovic took his first steps into the world of football when he was a kid rebellious and riotous to accept the rules.
The derby at the table: lasagna or tortellini?
Then there is the added value of the cuisine: “Nowhere do you eat like in Italy”. It is in the gastronomic derby della Dotta between lasagna and tortellini, Marko has no doubts: “tortellini”. Which perhaps will serve to further sweeten a character that until a few years ago was intractable: “I always wanted to do my own thing, I wasn’t listening to anyone. I used to say to the coaches: ‘who are you to tell me the things that only my father could tell me’”.
But that Arnautovic, luckily for him and for Bologna, is gone and today he has made room for a mature man who at 33 wants to continue to do good for the rossoblù colours.
