Saturday is their league debut. Tomorrow at 5:30 PM, Torres hosts Pontedera at the Vanni Sanna stadium for the first matchday of their fourth season in Serie C.
Coach Michele Pazienza introduced his opponents, coached by former Torres and Cagliari player Menichini: "We're facing a young team, but with talented players coming through important youth ranks. Tactically, I don't expect a pushy opponent. Given their back four, we'll have two crowded lines to overcome."
Captain Mastinu, who will undergo surgery on a meniscus in his left knee, is sidelined until October, while striker Di Stefano remains out due to fatigue. Unlike in the Coppa Italia match, center forward Diakite will be available. A pairing with Musso is likely, with the five-man midfield confirmed, with Lunghi starting as a central midfielder with the freedom to push into the penalty area, as he did so admirably against Livorno.
The Rossoblù coach also outlined his goals: "To have a team that fights until the end and to help the young players grow day by day."
