Squad

Sorrento lose Daniele Agostini

40 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

A falling-out at Sorrento

Federico Ricci and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

Wages eat 116% of everything Sorrento 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ciro Loreto

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

A row about effort at Sorrento

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jacopo Bacci was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Looking ahead

Vincenzo Di Somma goes back to face Potenza

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Vincenzo Di Somma’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Sorrento needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Stefano Paglino

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sorrento

Federico Ricci and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Cavese take the points off Sorrento

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

A row about effort at Sorrento

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Luca Crecco was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Silvio Fiorentino answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Simon Harrasser gets it from the manager

“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.

Squad

A Sorrento teenager takes the young player award

Gabriele Platto is 18, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Looking ahead

Daniele Solcia faces his old club

Giugliano next, and one man in the Sorrento dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

Ludovico Del Sorbo linked with a move away

The name of Ludovico Del Sorbo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Sorrento say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings

Both of them Gabriele Platto's — 9.02

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.02, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

Sorrento leave it late against Casarano

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 88th, and Casarano spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Match

Nobody wants to play Sorrento right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Stefano Paglino

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

The step up is real for Simon Harrasser

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Tempers go at Sorrento

Federico Ricci 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

Gabriele Platto sends Sorrento past Casarano

It finished 2‑1, and it was Gabriele Platto’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Sorrento.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Gabriele Platto

At 18 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Santiago García

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
