Yesterday was the day of Alfio Torrisi’s first training session as Reggina coach. Today, however, at 4 pm the first statements from the Amaranth coach will arrive in the presentation press conference. It will be the time for resolutions, but it will not last long because Reggio Calabria football feels the need for action. Torrisi has just arrived and is obviously not at fault, but his actions are already burdened by a failed start to the season. We start from -7 behind the leaders and from a twelfth place which offers a measure of how hard it will be to reach the goal. The goal remains to win the championship, but the topic is likely to remain taboo for a while.
In fact, this Reggina has too many problems to solve immediately to be able to think in the long term. The away match at Sancataldese must be the only thing on your mind. The new coach will not have a magic wand and there is awareness that we must work above all on the mental aspect. This is demonstrated by the fact that they will be facing a team that has conceded six out of eight goals from set pieces in the league or, as in the case of the defeat against Vigor Lamezia, lost due to gross errors against opponents who rarely passed the midfield. The exit from the Italian Cup, which occurred on Wednesday with Nocerina, was useful for reporting further negative signals. Two goals conceded at the top corner (not so frequent in Serie D), another missed penalty, another injury (that of Edera) and another goal conceded with a restart resulting from a turnover in the setup phase. A sign that we will also have to fight with a certain fatalism relating to the idea that bad luck is also persecuting Reggina.
