A long confrontation that kept Tatti in place, causing the famous conference to be postponed.
«Occhiuzzi demonstrated his value as a coach on the field, results and standings do not reflect the team's performance but the way he is expressing himself we feel that he is the right coach to lead us to salvation». As for the transfer market, Tatti added: «We needed a midfielder and a striker, and we signed Dessena, who needs no introduction, and Corti, so we can say we're satisfied. The other operations, such as the arrival of Sperotto and Sposito, became necessary following the injuries of Mordini and Gelmi».
Then, head to Fiorenzuola. «The first of thirteen finals», underlines the director of Olbia regarding Saturday's away match. "Now we will have to be good at leaving Fermana behind us, in the knowledge that we have the weapons to get out of this situation".
