The criticisms are merciless. How much the ranking. The post-Olbia derby is a disaster. The defeat suffered yesterday in Sassari by Torres, in the match of matches, confirms the feeling that Leandro Greco's team is unable to rise from the quicksand.

In the aftermath of the 3rd return day of Serie C, which earned the whites their sixth consecutive defeat, thirteenth in the championship, direct safety is 7 points away. A gap that appears unbridgeable for a team that hasn't scored in 8 rounds and hasn't won in 11. To those who point out that even in Sassari Olbia practically never had a shot on target, Greco replies: «It's not that we don't produce: is that there are matches in which it happens a little less and others, like last Sunday and other Sundays, in which we do it more. The real problem concerns the team's self-esteem, and my job is to try to recreate it through work, because then on a character level the team also responded in the derby."

As for his increasingly complicated future on the Olbia bench, the coach replies: «I have always received certificates of trust from the club, and I did not undertake this opportunity with exemption in mind: what the club will decide is not a question that it's about me, I have to think about helping the team get out of this situation."

The fact that Olbia broke the press silence with the Roman coach yesterday could be significant for the fact that Greco remains in his place. However, it is not yet known for how much longer: in fact, the possibility that the company will decide to relieve him of his duties in the near future is not excluded.

Meanwhile, from Lombardy, where he was released from Feralpisalò, they assume that former Cagliari player Marco Sau will be joining Olbia.
