Mario Piga made the history of Torres, playing for them from 1973 to 1975 at the beginning of his career and then from 1986 to 1989 before coaching them in the nineties. But he also has over one hundred appearances in Serie A, with Avellino and Lazio.
«Torres made us enjoy many Sundays, she went beyond the initial plans», the words of a fan to "L'Informatore Sportivo" on Radiolina.
«But, the moment you get to a certain position, you have to go to the end. I knew very well that Cesena was built to win and has now won, but until five days ago we were at -2: the second round is another championship. At this point it's better this way, Torres has played less well in these matches and must make sure to finish second or third to have an advantage in the playoffs." The former number 10 tries to identify the problem: «It's a soft team, they probably thought everything was easier. Now Carrarese is at -5 and the others are getting closer: we have to stay above. And I give a hug to my friend Claudio Ranieri, with whom I played in Palermo."
The memory. In his long and illustrious career, Mario Piga has touched numerous places, including national ones. «Torres, however, is the team that gave us the chance to shine at 16 years old, after two seasons at Palau where we had to falsify our card to be able to play», he says, also citing his twin brother Marco, who also arrived as far as to Serie A. «We made it a condition to buy ourselves together, bringing Avellino to Serie A, then in 1979 he went to Catania. Upon my return to Sassari no one gave us two lire, but we won the championship by climbing to C1." Piga also has memories of a Cagliari-Torres match in C1, where he won the penalty that earned Sassari the final 1-1: «My strength was speed and quickness, Osellame marked me. I brought him into the area, he tripped me and I went down with a thousand somersaults. We were given the penalty, which allowed us to equalize."
Towards Serie D. Marco Ruzittu also spoke on the Radiolina program, hosted by Lorenzo Piras, who is leading the table in Excellence with Ilvamaddalena leaders at +7 on the second, after having played in Serie C and D with Arzachena . «Making it all the way to the professionals was a great satisfaction», the goalkeeper's satisfaction. «With Arzachena we knew we were technically inferior compared to many already experienced teams, we had to put something more into it. At 33 now I hope to return to D, it would be wonderful and we hope to do it with Ilva." One of his teammates, Domiziano Tirelli of Atletico Uri, born in 2006, is called up to the Under 18 D Representative Team at the Viareggio Cup: «I saw some videos and he made an excellent impression on me, he is young and has time on his side aspire to more important stages."
