The defeat at Pontedera sent Olbia to a winter break with light and shade. Losing a game that seemed won, conceding 5 goals, is certainly a shadow.
Having recovered the double disadvantage, on the 3-1 of the Tuscans, up to overturning the game on 4-3, also sending Nanni, the long-awaited centre-forward, to score and scoring 4 goals, never many in a single game since the beginning of the Serie C championship, they are lights. And it is from these that Roberto Occhiuzzi's team - who, for the record, would not risk being on the bench - must try to restart towards a second part of the season which, from the bottom of the last place in the standings, with 15 points scored in 20 days , promises to be very difficult.
"Let's take this break to recharge our batteries: we'll start again with the spirit of those who know they have everything it takes to get back up," said Occhiuzzi on Friday, at the end of the pre-Christmas round match. It must be said that the coach of the whites could count on new players for the second round: a goalkeeper will most likely arrive from the repair market to replace the injured Gelmi, and perhaps a new forward and something in midfield. Maybe.
Meanwhile, after the 9-day mandatory stoppage, the Gallurese will return to training on 2 January to prepare for the home match against Montevarchi. Before 2023 and first direct confrontation in terms of salvation. To win, with the Tuscans at +2 in a very short ranking and therefore liable to overtake. That would be the best step to restart.
