Victory at the right time in the most difficult situation. Beating Alessandria 1-0 meant for Torres to reach +6 from the playoff zone and remove fears by overcoming objective difficulties. «In addition to the many absences, we had players who weren't at their best both because they had just overcome the viruses and because they were exhausted by Wednesday's trip to Siena which took place in difficult conditions» recalled coach Stefano Sottili at the end of the game. And this partly justifies a less brilliant performance than on other occasions.
The other obstacles were psychological: Torres hadn't won at the "Vanni Sanna" for six games and in the last few games, both home and away, she had almost always conceded the goal in the final matches, even scoring her own goal twice. Who knows if having managed to keep the victory won't take the monkey off his back.
Finally, having beaten Alessandria gives impetus to face the Olbia derby which will be very tough because in addition to the historical rivalry there is the urgent need to score points both for the Gallurese and for Torres himself who with a victory could really mortgage a final clearer season.
