The new rossoblù coach Alfonso Greco takes stock after a week of work “To satisfy the hunger for good football in Sassari you need a good game and results”
SASSARI. Sweat and learn Torres in Barbagia. Get to know each other, with a whole new group that needs to work together and become united. Learn to have a winning mentality, the one that “demands” the new owner, Insula Sport, which has always been driven by healthy ambition. Learn to be a team and to assimilate the ideas and philosophy of life and football of his new coach, the Roman from Ostia Alfonso Greco. The work of the rossoblù team goes on, which needs to be reborn from the ashes of the too painful last season, in the retreat between Ollolai and Gavoi where it will stay until tomorrow. And the coach can already say he is satisfied.
«We are cementing the group, the guys are available and motivated. So far so good, the first steps are always important and I have good feelings. The context in which we find ourselves is also ideal, in a very hospitable area ». Alfonso Greco is impatient to start getting serious and does not hide his happiness for having arrived at the helm of the rossoblù, accompanied by the good calling card of the 47 points (and seventh place) at the helm of the Lanusei. «The last season was full of satisfactions, albeit difficult due to the pandemic situation, and I arrive in Sassari with enthusiasm. I wanted this square very strongly and I gave up on other proposals, even taking a risk when the times got longer, waiting for the Torresina call. I know I have a great responsibility because there are so many expectations, but this is a further incentive to do well. Both the boys and I know we cannot disappoint the fans, indeed we have a duty to win them back and this will be our first goal. We must satisfy the great hunger for good football of the Sassari, with the game and with the results. With words you don’t go far, it is the points in the standings that count and must also be conquered with quality ».
The rossoblù coach does not like proclamations and aims at the concreteness of the facts, also thanks to his international experience. For several years he trained in Malta, with an interlude at Ostiamare before arriving in Ogliastra. Fifty-two years old, a wife, a daughter and a beloved 5-year-old grandson, the lively Adriano, all remained beyond the Tyrrhenian Sea and the distance from the family is the only shadow of his adventure under the Sardinian sun. “What Torres will it be? I hope the one I want, a team that never gives up, always proactive, that does not suffer from its opponents while remaining humble. Mentality and attitude on the pitch will be essential to make a difference, we are working on it. I have always given a precise mark to my teams, Torres will also have it and the fans will be our added value ».
The imperative of society – and of the city – is clear: to become protagonists again. The D series is tight and after having risked even sinking into Excellence it is time to go back to dreaming. “And we will work to make it so – says the Lazio coach -. I have faith in my guys, many are from the area, they have experience and a great sense of belonging. Ambitions must be supported with the personality and contribution of all. The objectives are achieved in this way, all rowing in the same direction. Is there still something missing from the rossoblù group? “We are looking for good unders, the squad must be completed with the young players.”
