Match29 Aug 2026
AlbinoLeffe taken apart
1‑4 to Dolomiti Bellunesi, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Riccardo Baroni goes up and wins it — 5.40
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 5.40 for the rest of it.

Adrian Przyborek will not be coming to AlbinoLeffe
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Lazio is saying, and nobody at AlbinoLeffe is enjoying the guessing.

AlbinoLeffe rebuffed over Giacomo Faticanti
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Juventus have kept their man, and AlbinoLeffe go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Inquest at AlbinoLeffe
The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Gerardo Pugliese answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑4, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Riccardo Baroni is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Michele Ambrosini beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

A loan move for Joachim Kayi Sanda is in the works
AlbinoLeffe have made the call to Southampton. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
In brief
- Squad A long afternoon for Gabriele Baldi
- Player ratings Jacopo Desogus keeps on missing
- The dugout No place in the plan for Mattia Angeloni
