The idea was that Reggina would play a lot in the month of March, perhaps everything. Now he will have to do it in a week. These are the developments determined by the new date of Igea Virtus Reggina: the match will be resumed on Wednesday 25 March at 2.30 pm. This presupposes that Torrisi’s team, after next Sunday’s match against Acireale, in the space of four days will first face the away match in Barcelona and then on 29 March the one in Palermo against Athletic.
A difficult home match and two direct clashes outside the friendly walls that generate a triptych from which half measures are unlikely to come out. Either Reggina will be out of the running or will return as a credible candidate for final victory. The feeling, also supported by arithmetic, is that the difference comes down to the ability to get full loot in the three outings. Having three such important and close commitments would not be good for anyone. Especially because the Amaranths will play their third match against the league leaders who won’t have three matches in a week.
However, Reggina cannot complain too much because if they risk facing a second consecutive disappointing season (excluding the first year) it is above all due to their own demerits. There is no alternative to focusing on the present and seeing this crucial week as an opportunity. One step at a time.
The first obstacle is Ciccio Cozza’s Acireale (the match could be brought forward to Saturday, given among other things that the Sicilians will catch up with Enna on the 25th). And every time the amaranth team encounters the name of a symbol that represents it more than any other, in the national collective imagination, it is not an event like the others. The Granata will arrive at the Granillo with the aim of scoring points for salvation.
Torrisi’s team resumed training yesterday afternoon and will return to work this morning at 10 am. The choice continues to be to do so behind closed doors. The desire, as already highlighted, is to maintain maximum tranquility and look internally for the right mental and physical resources to close this tournament in the best possible way.
We hope to recover Sartore who would not have been available last Sunday due to a contracture. From a tactical point of view, however, even in Barcelona the team proposed an initial formation with a 4-2-3-1 that “tasted” like a 3-4-2-1. There was no chance to see it on the pitch, but the hypothesis is that it is a tactical solution useful for providing more offensive solutions and greater unpredictability.
