Yesterday came Torres' first defeat, beaten 2-0 by Virtus Entella after a streak of eight victories (the first seven consecutive) and three draws. However, the rossoblù remain first in the standings in Group B of Serie C, with a three-point advantage over second-placed Cesena who have a game in hand. In Sassari, the person who made history at a high level, in the second half of the 1980s in Serie C1, was the president of the time Bruno Rubattu who is now 87 years old. «In my opinion it has already guaranteed itself the playoffs, I'm 100% certain of it» , he states without any doubt to L'Informatore Sportivo on Radiolina. «He has a group of managers who are all ready to make a good impression, in order to enrich the city which is ready to face Serie B. Then it will take luck, see Ranieri who performed a miracle in climbing up against Cagliari». When he was the owner of the rossoblù in Sassari, Gianfranco Zola began to take off: «I was told that there was a great player in Nuoro. The next day Zola was at the office with a manager from Nuorese: he wanted eighty million lire. I sent them away, then an hour and a half later he called me back from Oliena and I had him come to the camp the next day."

From the field to the bench

At Torres, Angelo Giacomo Demartis played in three different circumstances, and after his last year at Ossese he hung up his boots and became coach of Ghilarza in Eccellenza. «I must thank the president, who made the city of Sassari experience some wonderful moments», his praise for Rubattu. «At the time we lived for football and there was a lot of enthusiasm. Now there is great participation, then when the entrepreneurs are local and in love with the city and the history of Torres, beautiful football eras can be born. I think the time is ripe to play in categories that Torres has never experienced ." His first year as coach currently sees the Giallorossi in fifth place with 16 points: «The team is very young, almost all born from 2001 onwards and all Sardinians. Ghilarza has been a reality in Excellence for many years, with managers who make us work with serenity. Unfortunately yesterday in Tempio it didn't go well, but for us the objective is different from theirs."
