It's a busy August holiday for Torres, who will host Livorno at the "Vanni Sanna" stadium on Saturday at 9:00 PM for the first round of the Coppa Italia. Wednesday's friendly in Castelsardo is a sort of dress rehearsal, even though their opponents are three places below them: Alghero were just relegated to Promozione.

The Catalan team, which began preparations a week ago, has called upon coach Mauro Giorico to try to return to the Eccellenza league immediately.

The Sassari team is playing its fourth friendly match and began training almost a month ago, but they still appear to be lagging behind in terms of tactical coordination, as is to be expected from a team that has lost key players like Fischnaller and Guiebre and has rejuvenated the average age of the roster by almost three years.

Coach Pazienza expects progress but above all a decidedly more aggressive and determined mentality on the pitch than what was shown last Saturday in Budoni, where Torres was defeated 3-2.
