Serie D, the home defeat against Cynthialbalonga hurts. Society preaches calm: “A knockout that doesn’t change plans”
SASSARI. Each season has its critical moment and Torres is going through it in this beginning of the second round, which in four games counts two defeats, one draw and one victory. A step that is no longer quick, which is reflecting on the standings with the primacy of Giugliano 8 points away and the second place closely threatened by New Florida, which jumped to only one length and with two games to recover.
So you have to start looking over your shoulder, without however renouncing the (residual) ambitions of still undermining the leaders. The slowdown, which took not only the fans by surprise but also the Sassari club, is a source of strong regret and anger in the light of the “slow” results that Giugliano is also getting, no longer as fast as a while ago but pushed more and more ahead of his rivals rossoblù, who do not take advantage of his braking. Here, apart from regrets not having forfeited the hoped-for results, what ignites the disappointment is the realization that the race to the top could really be reopened and then the grumbles that arose from the stands on Sunday, at the end of a game that promised, are understandable. so much with its good start and that it ended in the worst way.
The invitation to calm and serenity dictated by Stefano Udassi after the unexpected debacle was intended to dampen in the bud the dramatization of a defeat that at the “Sanna” no rossoblù heart was more used to collecting. The president intended to give “a positive signal to the environment”, noting the thought of the company according to which “this setback does not change in the path taken and indeed it will be useful for growth and improvement”. The real discordant note were the expulsions, three of them, which will have important repercussions in the next matches as they have hit all the over central defenders and for the Monterotondo trip you will have to draw from the under tank, full of enthusiasm but limited by inexperience. “The nervousness was a lot and involved everyone – Udassi underlined – but we must not fall into provocations, now we will have to make a virtue of necessity”.
The coach’s request to the team was even more pungent: «Now let’s see what we are made of, let’s show that we are a group of real men, who know how to react to the wrong moment. Only in difficulties can you understand the value of a team ». Clear words, which require equally clear answers on the pitch, already in the next 90 ‘.
Returning to Sunday’s match “not from Torres”, this is the most frequent comment in the stands and on social networks), what made the difference – negatively – was the inaccuracy in shooting, because despite the general lack of brilliance, opportunities were not lacking to hurt the Cynthialbalonga, beaten in the first leg with goals from Dametto and Scotto. Especially in the first half, where at times it was real forcing. Many errors, then paid for at a very high price. Not to be repeated, so as not to jeopardize the precious second position.
