Never give up before the gong! Torrisi still believes he can take first place, but first he will have to beat Paternò and hope, in turn, that the others stop. The coach met with journalists on the eve of the match: «It seems like a Formula 1 race. After the great comeback, we will start from the second row. There are three races left until the end of the championship and we will try to get full points. Unfortunately in some challenges we did not reap what we produced. Something obviously didn’t work. When we had to reach the top we got bogged down, but I would avoid talking about the charisma and personality of our players. Maybe it’s a question of character. The mental aspects count and there was a sin of superficiality.”
According to Torrisi, the three matches in the space of a week risk tiring the group: «We will arrive at the match against Paternò out of breath. A further effort will be needed and the boys will do everything they can to win the entire prize. Pay attention above all to the mental aspect: facing the last of the class can hide pitfalls. It will be essential to unlock the result immediately. Last Wednesday the team suffered and in the final Enna came close to a 2-2 draw.”
He also focused on the performance of the attack: «Our offensive department has not produced the numbers expected for a team that has the aim of moving up to the Lega Pro. Up to now, sorry to say, we have lacked strikers capable of reaching double figures. The numbers don’t lie, but let’s also include bad luck in the error calculation. Many times the goalkeepers outdid themselves against us. But the goals scored, I repeat, do not belong to a team fighting for supremacy.”
