Match

No end in sight to Vis Pesaro's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Vis Pesaro has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Vis Pesaro sink to position 17

18 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

Vis Pesaro cannot find the net

9 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Tempers go at Vis Pesaro

Luca Paganini was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Issac Dijkhuizen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

No hiding place for Luca Paganini

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luca Paganini, and the manager let it.

Squad

Vis Pesaro pick somebody else ahead of Mirco Ceccacci

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match

Vis Pesaro draw a blank against Carpi

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Carpi defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Market

Sulayman Jallow linked with a move away

The name of Sulayman Jallow keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Vis Pesaro say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

A bad afternoon for Vis Pesaro against Sambenedettese

0‑1 to Sambenedettese, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

No hiding place for Andrea Beghetto

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andrea Beghetto, and the manager let it.

Match

Nicolò Lari wins it after the whistle should have gone

92 minutes played. Nicolò Lari found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Pineto went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Francesco Nicastro yet — 7.81

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.81 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Luca Paganini in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Vis Pesaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Vis Pesaro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Issac Dijkhuizen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Nicolò Lari

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Luca Paganini

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Vis Pesaro find a way past Pineto

Pineto made Vis Pesaro work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Boardroom

121% of the income goes out in wages at Vis Pesaro

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Market

Talks stall between Vis Pesaro and Francesco Nicastro

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Vis Pesaro say no — this time

The offer from Guidonia Montecelio for Francesco Nicastro was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Luca Paganini signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Luca Paganini commits to Vis Pesaro for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Vis Pesaro
