Squad

A fracture rules Giorgos Athanasiadis out for 118 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hellas Verona will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Domagoj Bradarić 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 Hellas Verona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Samuele Mulattieri the difference as Hellas Verona beat Parma

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Samuele Mulattieri. 1‑0 against Parma, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

A row about effort at Hellas Verona

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

Player ratings

Samuele Mulattieri takes the honours

Marked 7.64 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Hellas Verona had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

Hellas Verona are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Cesare Casella, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Nunzio Lella

“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 Amin Sarr question follows Hellas Verona around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Amin Sarr’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match

Hellas Verona bow out of the cup

Carrarese go through and Hellas Verona go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Daniel Mosquera 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 Hellas Verona can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Amin Sarr was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

Gabriele Guarino says Hellas Verona went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Domagoj Bradarić raises the bar for Hellas Verona

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Hellas Verona heard it as anything else.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hellas Verona

Sandi Lovrić 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Hellas Verona

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

Match

Hellas Verona come up short against Pisa

Pisa left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Hellas Verona dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Match

No end in sight to Hellas Verona's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hellas Verona has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Hellas Verona cannot find the net

9 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

The dugout

Daniel Mosquera: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hellas Verona have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Ali Al Musrati 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 Hellas Verona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The step up is real for Giacomo Toniolo

At 22 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

A row about effort at Hellas Verona

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

Match

Hellas Verona come up short against Como

Como left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Suat Serdar 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

Junior Ajayi signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Junior Ajayi and Hellas Verona agree another 3 years.
