Olbia closes the year in the worst way. Losing an incredible match in Pontedera, which finished 5-4 for the home team coached by former Max Canzi, and slipping to the last place in the standings, with 15 points won in 20 days.
A blow that Roberto Occhiuzzi's team will take a while to metabolize. In this regard, the winter stop of the Serie C championship comes about. A pause will help to analyze with greater lucidity what happened yesterday at the "Mannucci", where with 10' from the end the whites led 4-3, only to be caught up and overtaken in the finishing straight. And to regroup, also thanks to the reopening of the transfer market which could bring new reinforcements to Gallura, in view of the second part of the season. A second round in which Olbia will have to try everything, and above all reverse the negative trend of the results, to achieve direct salvation, currently 4 points away.
“It was an incredible defeat, crazy for how it came. I had asked the boys to win, they kept their promise up to a certain point,” Occhiuzzi said after the match. “I keep my spirits good even if there was a lack of balance on the pitch and anxiety prevailed in various situations. We suffered from Pontedera's push on the side lanes, despite playing with the right attitude and throwing our heart over the obstacle: high, holding the ball and hitting back a strong opponent that few had put in difficulty on this pitch". then added the technician.
Which, barring surprises, does not risk. “We had a disappointing first part of the season to say the least and I have to take my responsibility for that. However, despite the disappointment, today I reiterate that the team is alive and has the values to get out of that position in the standings. We would have liked to wish the club, the president, the director, the city and all the fans a merry Christmas with the smile of a victory. We didn't succeed. Let's take this break – concluded Occhiuzzi – to recharge our batteries, we will start again with the spirit of those who know they have everything it takes to get back up”.
