Buoyed by the recovery of defender Antonelli and the arrivals of defender Kebbeh and winger Corsinelli, Torres is ready to open the Lega Pro championship with Monday's late match away to Livorno (kick-off at 8:30 pm).

Coach Alfonso Greco explained what the team has been working on this week: "Aside from the end against Spezia, where we were in a defensive crisis, we were too timid in the first twenty minutes. We need to have a more courageous approach to matches."

Livorno defeated Reggiana 3-1 in the Coppa Italia, but the match is pending an appeal from their opponents over the illegal signing of left-backs. Regardless of the decision, the match demonstrated the strength of the Tuscan squad: "This is a team with important players and interesting youngsters. We need to have the right approach, both physically and in terms of personality."
