Cesena , Olbia 's opponent tomorrow when the Serie C championship resumes, have not lost in 18 rounds. Exactly from 3 September, when he was defeated at the "Nespoli" 2-1 (with Nanni and Ragatzu scoring from a penalty and the former Ogunseye) by Leandro Greco's team.

Since then the team coached by Domenico Toscano has racked up 14 wins and 4 draws, a record that today puts them at the top of Group B with 46 points, 29 more than the penultimate Whites in the standings. The goals scored by the Romagna battleship are impressive, 44 against the 13 conceded, and the fact that the only opponent for the title is Torres , who are behind them at -2 and who snatched a 1-1 draw at home last season December 17th.

For the rest, the Bianconeri dominate the tournament undisputed. Yet, for Greco Cesena can be defeated. "All teams can be beaten: many times you need feats or perfect matches, sometimes just a bit of luck, but if we've done it once we can do it again" , declared the Olbia coach yesterday, before leaving for Cesena, where tomorrow, starting from 4.15pm, the spin of the 1st day of return will take place.

Greco underlined when the self-esteem, lost along the way by his team in the face of so many negative results and on which he worked a lot when training resumed after the winter break, could make the difference against an opponent who fell to the blows in the first leg of the self-esteem of the Gallura people. «In the training camp in Buddusò we had worked well, and we arrived at that match well-energised and aware that we could hurt Cesena , which we did», he recalled yesterday. But an entire circle has passed since then, and we can safely say that Olbia and Cesena are different realities today.

For one thing, the Whites have to think about saving themselves and getting out of the relegation zone as soon as possible , and tomorrow they won't have the clear mind they had on September 3rd. In the same way, Cesena is breathing down the neck of Torres, who will play first, at 2pm, in Sassari against Recanatese. It remains to be seen whether the pressure will play tricks on one or the other. Beyond the excessive power of Cesena and the mad desire of Olbia, substantially at full strength and strengthened by the purchase of the expert Andrea Schiavone in midfield, to try to restart with momentum after the black December characterized by 4 defeats and a draw, zero goals scored and 10 scored.

The referee Antonio Di Reda from the Molfetta section will referee the match at the Orogel Stadium “Dino Manuzzi”.
