Marco Gaburro goes straight to it. «By winning in Rimini you enter the playout and then, in the last four days, it becomes a psychological and footballing game to stay in it. But if you don't do it", explains the Olbia coach on the eve of the recovery against the Romagna players, "from Rimini onwards our possibility of playing for salvation in the play-offs will depend on the others, also because we no longer have direct clashes".
In a few words, the coach of the whites, second to last in the standings on equal points (25) with Fermana, summarizes the weight of the challenge valid for the 14th matchday of Serie C, taking place tomorrow evening at the "Romeo Neri" stadium. As an ex, Gaburro does not hide "the pleasure of returning to Rimini, where I spent 2 important years". But he also underlines: «This only increases the specific weight of the match».
After the home defeat against Sestri Levante, in the recovery against the red and whites the Gallura players are playing for the chance to get back into the running for salvation, aware at the same time that a result other than victory would seriously compromise their stay in Serie C. On a mental level, being according to the coach's words, Olbia would seem determined not to miss the mark. «After Sestri I saw the boys angry rather than disappointed or turned off: they know that we go and play there a lot», assures Gaburro. However, in conclusion, he warns: «This awareness must be transformed on the field in terms of performance and results».
Teams on the pitch at 8.30pm: Rimini-Olbia will be directed by referee Davide Gandino from Alessandria.
