From swan to ugly duckling: the reverse path of Torres who, after an amazing first round where she led for a long time, stalled well beyond the expected drop in performance. Suffice it to say that Greco's rossoblù are twelfth in the partial standings after the halfway point.
Rather than thinking about defending second place from the onslaught of Gubbio and Carrarese, who will face each other on Wednesday anyway, the coach and management must understand the reason for such an involution. Not just one cause, probably, but many: physical decline of the starters, opponents who have become tougher even tactically, mental fatigue, because it is not easy for those who have not planned a top championship to march at the crazy pace of the first leg. It remains to be seen whether the reflections will lead to any changes in the form or in any case in the choice of interpreters.
We return to the field on Wednesday and perhaps it's a good thing that there isn't too much time to think. The opponent is Lucchese, who at home are decidedly more solid within friendly walls. Not a comfortable race, but there are no more simple races anymore.
