AlbinoLeffe run riot against Ospitaletto
3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

A brace, and Adulai Embaló takes the afternoon — 8.29
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Adulai Embaló provided it, and the 8.29 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Nicolò Gamba is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

A falling-out at AlbinoLeffe
Gabriele Baldi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Wages eat 143% of everything AlbinoLeffe earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Ninety minutes of Andrea Mandelli at his very best
Marked 8.00. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at AlbinoLeffe.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

A row about effort at AlbinoLeffe
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Gabriele Boloca was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Adulai Embaló named in the team of the month
A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Adulai Embaló is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
