Squad

Alex Sposito decides it from twelve yards

3 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Cavese march on in the cup

Trapani are out and Cavese go through, 2‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

Sveinn Aron Guðjohnsen scores twice — 8.34

Two goals and a mark of 8.34 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Alessandro Cardinali at 20 — 7.71

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Alessandro Cardinali did not need any: 7.71, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Alessio Luciani in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cavese this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Cavese training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marc-Aurèle Caillard is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Cavese see off Cosenza

Three points for Cavese, 2‑1 the final word against Cosenza in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Moustapha Yabré

“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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Gerardo Fusco

Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ciro Loreto stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ciro Loreto and Cavese agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Alessio Luciani in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cavese this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Francesco Orlando falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

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.

Market

The clock runs on Francesco Orlando's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Cavese sign Alessandro Cardinali, one for the future

Alessandro Cardinali is 20, and Cavese have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
