The 2–0 win over Latina shows just how much the Vanni Sanna means to Torres this season. The Rossoblù have earned 19 of their 21 points at home, with six wins and a draw. They have picked up three points in six away games. This is the difference to focus on when assessing how far Alfonso Greco’s team can go.
At home, Torres knows how to wait and strike
Against Latina, Torres waited until the second half to take the lead. Zecca won the ball in midfield, Carboni set up Bunino and the centre-forward scored with a diagonal shot. Corsinelli then put the game beyond doubt. The team gave little away and knew when to step up the pace as spaces opened up.
The six home wins give the playoff ambitions real weight. The next step is to take that same ability to keep a game balanced on the road and, when the chance comes, turn it in their favour. The draw in Pescara showed that Torres can hold its own at a difficult ground. In Perugia, it can try to do a little more with the ball.
Bunino is giving Greco another option
Cristian Bunino opened the scoring in each of the last two home games, first against Guidonia, then against Latina. He started both matches. The value of having options on the bench is clear in the depth of the squad: Greco was able to entrust the centre of the attack to a player who made the most of the opportunity.
Has Torres found the striker it often lacked last year? It has found another centre-forward option. His goal against Latina explains why. Bunino read the turnover in midfield, attacked the space Carboni’s pass opened up and finished accurately. Two games have given his case substance. He will confirm it if he can repeat those runs even when the team creates fewer chances for him.
Spezia are on another level. Perugia is the most useful test
Spezia are on 35 points, Torres on 22. The league leaders are setting a pace that the Rossoblù have not matched so far. Behind them, Torres has what it takes to compete even with the stronger teams. The solidity shown in Pescara and the ability to control the game against Latina are two different assets, and both are needed.
On Monday, 16 November at 8:30 pm in Perugia, the question is straightforward. Can Torres support Bunino with players close by, win the ball high enough up the pitch and create chances away from the Vanni Sanna too? These are the things that will determine whether the team can stay near the top when the schedule calls for points on the road.
