Olbia defeated by Perugia and at risk of playout. Greco: «The corner episode weighs heavily»

After the home defeat against Perugia, Olbia coach Leandro Greco said he was "sorry". Rightly so, and for several reasons.

«For not having collected anything despite yet another good performance against a strong opponent, because on occasions we would have deserved at least a point and because the boys gave everything», he explained yesterday afternoon after the “Nespoli” match. «Perhaps we had the best opportunities, while they scored from the corner kick. Even if episodes and details in football make the difference, and this time – he added – they made it in favor of the opponent."

With all the mitigating circumstances of the case, and on all the important absences due to injury of Nanni and Ragatzu, the latter took over in the second half of the match on the 16th matchday of Serie C but was evidently limited by the physical problems complained of in the last two weeks, against a Perugia who he aspires to return to Serie B immediately but it is not irresistible, more could have been done. As long as Olbia is able to do so.

The fans, and certainly also the manager, hope that reinforcements will arrive from the repair market. Maybe, one per department and especially in attack. Last year in January the former Cagliari captain Dessena arrived, among the best today as yesterday, when he proved to be decisive in getting out of a relegation zone in which the whites risk falling even in this round. For this Wednesday at the "Nespoli" it will be essential to capitalize on the recovery against Rimini. Who in the standings, with 19 points, precedes the Gallura team by +3 and is therefore liable to be caught.
