Riso Scotti, captain Torgano tries to raise morale “With Alba a different defeat”

Pavia reached in fifth place by the Piedmontese. “But this time the team fought and had two possessions to win, we must look to the future with confidence”

PAVIA

The defeat remedied by Riso Scotti on the Piedmontese pitch of Corneliano d’Alba against Langhe Roero hurts even more because it reached overtime after two consecutive victories, when it seemed that the worst moment was behind us.

“However, it is different from the three defeats remedied against Vigevano, San Miniato and Cecina – explains the captain of the Pavesi Marco Torgano – it leaves us so much bitter in the mouth, that’s for sure, because after beating the two teams from Livorno, we had worked hard and we went to Alba convinced we could take her home. From an emotional point of view it was a particular setback, because this time we never stopped fighting and believing in it, so much so that we got to extra time, it is a pity that in the end our opponents won and this is sorry ».

Compared to previous slips, Pavia this time showed that character that Cecina, for example, lacked. «In the third quarter unfortunately we had a small blackout – explains Torgano – I liked the team’s reaction, because instead of giving up we had the strength to fight, come back and not give up. We were good at always staying on track. We also had possession of the ball to win it, but sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s not, this time it went badly. We fought a lot, proving that we have the attributes to do better and better. I am convinced that we still have a lot of room for growth. The group does not skimp on the work and believes so much ».

Pavia, after 12 days, is in fifth place in the standings on equal points with Langhe Roero. “There are still three to close the first round – says” The gunman “, as Torgano is nicknamed – we are working hard to find the best team balance, everyone’s commitment is maximum and we have plenty of time”. Sangiorgese arrives at PalaRavizza on Sunday. «An important match awaits us because we play at home and we don’t have to leave more points on the road – warns the captain of Riso Scotti – we will find a team within our reach and we must capitalize on this opportunity. It is very important to arrive at the Christmas break in the best possible way because it would allow us to work with more serenity ». –
