Mikhailovic’s moving speech to the Bologna players from the hospital room

“I will not be with you as a physical presence, but I will always be with you in my thoughts. I will watch all the matches in my room, I am in constant communication with my staff.

Unfortunately we did this a few years ago but I’m sure I’ll fight with you in the hotel room just like you will surely fight for me.

We beat this disease once before, so we can do it again, I have no doubt about that. Life does not flow without problems, but with problems.

Life is not a straight line, there are curves, ups and downs, even sudden potholes that you fall into, but you have to get back up and continue the journey.

In difficult times you see the courage and the reaction of the people. There are two paths you can take, one is disastrous, complain and lose your faith. The other is constructive and looks for the bright side of things. stick with it

I live in a room that is about three square meters. It’s a temporary condition, I will overcome this disease, I have faith in the doctors, so I want excitement and not anxious people. i know i will win

We have to stick together, if you need anything I’m at your disposal. I know our situation is difficult in terms of results, but not in terms of performances.

“The trip to Milan for the Milan game won’t be the easiest, there will be 60,000 fans in the stands, but it won’t be easy for them either.” the Serbian coach characteristically mentioned to his players.
