«Now frustration must be transformed into competitive malice»
One point in the last three games and the Torres loses contact from the summit. The technician Alfonso Greco (in the photo Torres Sassari) does not hide the disappointment of the defeat against Spal, the second in a row, which came in the 80th minute on a free kick with the ball deflected from the deceptive barrier: «It’s a defeat that really makes you angry and certifies the moment. We must bring out willpower and character to bring the inertia back in our favor. Thinking too much is harmful, we have to work and put even more malice and energy into recovering. We missed the details. The goal conceded today with a doubtful foul, the barrier that opens is an example».
The rossoblù had many opportunities who lacked precision or were blocked by the opposing goalkeeper: «The team performs well but at the moment some small details are penalizing us. Pressure is part of this world. The team feels the pressure of having to bring home points, but it is normal for those who have only collected one point in three games. The players wanted redemption after the last match and left frustrated after losing such a match. We must be good at transforming frustration into competitive malice. Fortunately we are back on the field immediately and we have the opportunity to redeem ourselves».
What specific mental techniques or exercises can Torres’ players use to transform their anger and disappointment into a focused drive for success?
