Lorran, 20, steals the show — 8.02
Marked 8.02 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Both jobs done by Adrian Lahdo — 6.97
A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 19 actions, 6.97, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Pisa are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The crowd has taken to Lorran
At 20 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.

No hiding place for Gabriele Piccinini
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gabriele Piccinini, and the manager let it.

Nicolás wants one last season at home
Every long career reaches the week the last one is thought about. He would like it to be where he started, and Pisa know now that the thought has arrived.

Pisa share the spoils with Arezzo
A 1‑1 draw with Arezzo leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Raffaele Ricci was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Pisa dressing room was either.
