The Cynthia passes to the Aqueduct, only 9 people from Sassari find their determination
SASSARI. Torres has jammed. Three goals scored in the last five games are a worrying sign. The team has lost lucidity in front of goal and does not realize the opportunities it builds as before. Yesterday the refrain was repeated and the Cynthialbalonga, a solid, cynical team, took advantage of it and managed to strike at the right moment, taking home three precious points. In the final, the rossoblù got nervous, they finished the game in nine and lost an opportunity to get closer to the top, considering that Giugliano drew in Arzachena. Instead the gap has widened, to recover 8 points to the leaders in thirteen races, it will take an enterprise like winning them all from now to the end.
Open face. It is immediately clear that there are two teams facing each other who do not by chance occupy the noble positions of the standings and take sides with almost mirror-like tactical modules. Torres starts contracted and commits some naivete that risks paying dearly. the Cynthialbalonga is expert training, wait and start again. He has two quick players on the outside, Bolo and Angelilli, on which the Greek technician rightly asks to shorten. The rossoblùs are close to scoring with Mukaj leading and as the minutes pass they take command of operations. The Sassari play well, it seems that the goal could come at any moment. There is a bit of precision in the conclusions and also in the last step.
Pressure. Torres’ constant, which occasionally has defensive amnesia. Roberti (formerly Latte Dolce and a little too inclined to throw himself on the ground) is a thorn in the side, his speed wreaks havoc in the Sassari rearguard, which swerves. Cynthia defends herself with order but suffers if she is caught in speed. The cold shower in the recovery when the restart of the guests is deadly. Roberti puts it in comfortably (Alessandro’s assist started from a suspected out-of-picture position, a matter of millimeters) with a precise diagonal. A punch in the stomach for those who until then had played the game by giving the crumbs to the opponents. The lack of concreteness forward is proving to be a limitation in the most important phase of the season.
Reaction. Torres’s is confused. Too many quick passes, wrong playing times. kujaby does not neazzecca one, Piredda brings too much ball and ends up losing it and even Lisai is not as reactive as on other occasions. Lack of clarity against a professional opponent, well placed on the pitch, who closes all the passing lines. As the minutes go by it becomes a real siege.
Tense nerves. Greek Change. Outside Lisai and Piredda, inside Masala and Sabatini. The latter is a more offensive player and in the right lane he can hurt. Cynthia hardly starts again, she is all backwards to defend the advantage with her teeth and with all the weapons at her disposal. Inside also Ruocco for Kujaby. Now she is a super offensive Torres because there are four strikers on the pitch. Saved avoids the knockout blow by stopping Alessandro who was thrown into the net. Also inside Turchet, the final card to try to get the race back on its feet. The occasion happens to Ferrante who misses from two meters. Torres closes with nine, sent off first Dametto (elbow to distant ball) and then Ferrante (red appeared exaggerated). With two less men, the rossoblù put their heart into it, close to equal with Diakite but in the recovery they suffer the blow of the knockout with Nanni. A riot broke out and Antonelli and the manager accompanying Mela were expelled from the bench. Very nervous ending. Bianchi scores and shortens. But it’s too late.
