They've just been relegated to Serie B, but there's a difference between the two leagues: at the Stadio Comunale in Longone, Venezia defeated Torres 5-0 after a first half that saw them dominate in the final quarter of an hour. It's also worth remembering that this was Venezia's third friendly (all of which they won by a landslide), while the Rossoblu were making their debut.

Coach Pazienza has replicated the formation of his predecessor, Greco: 3-4-2-1 with Mastinu, the captain, in midfield and two attacking midfielders behind center-forward Diakite. The Ivorian is the only remaining striker from a dismantled defense: Scotto, Fischnaller, Nanni, Varela, and even Zamparo, who returned to Vicenza, have all left.

It's no coincidence that the Rossoblù coach highlighted: "We expect players in that department from the transfer market."

Torres first half (3-4-2-1): Zaccagno, Biagetti, Antonelli, Fabriani; Zecca, Brentan, Mastinu, Zambataro; Carboni, Long; Diakite. All. Patience.
