The anxiety that had flared up after the clear defeat in Grosseto has evaporated.
The third win at the "Vanni Sanna" stadium (2-1 over Pianese) has brought a sense of security to Torres's standings. Indeed, a hint of ambition is evident, given that Greco's rossoblù are among the trio occupying positions fifth through seventh.
It's only the fifth matchday, but in the meantime the start has been decidedly more confident than that of the troubled last season, when Torres had only 5 points after five matchdays and to get 9 as in this championship they used up a whopping 17 games.
Saturday sees them return to action in Forlì, a test to see if Scotto and his teammates can earn points away from home, where they've consistently lost, including in the Coppa Italia. Of course, they'll need a much more solid performance than the patchy performance they put in against Pianese, who objectively deserved a draw. The recovery of Zecca and Corsinelli, though not at their best, the abundance of midfielders, and their strong attacking streak inspire confidence. "We can still improve a lot," said captain Gigi Scotto.
