The Parma Gazette

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Emanuele Valeri puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Parma, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Parma refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 28 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Filippo Rinaldi

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Tempers go at Parma

Adrián Bernabé 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.

Match

Parma get the job done against Monza

A 3‑1 win over Monza, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

One of those days for Jacob Ondrejka

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.14, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Pontus Almqvist

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

Player ratings

A masterclass from Peter Amoran

Marked 8.50 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Antoine Joujou

Marked 8.45 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

Mirko Pigliacelli keeps Catanzaro in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Ervin Bashi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Catanzaro can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Catanzaro say no — this time

The offer from Pro Patria for Mario Paura 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.

Market

Catanzaro sign Alessandro Tripaldelli for $770.0K

The paperwork is done: Alessandro Tripaldelli joins from Reggiana in a deal worth $770.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Tempers go at Catanzaro

Mirko Pigliacelli 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.

Market

Edoardo Borrelli moves on

Vicenza pay $440.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Match

N'dri Philippe Koffi the difference as Catanzaro beat Frosinone

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: N'dri Philippe Koffi. 3‑1 against Frosinone, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Alphadjo Cissé in the eights

A performance of 8.89 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

One of those days for N'dri Philippe Koffi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.68, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
