Squad8 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Virtus Verona

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

Squad8 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Virtus Verona

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

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

Virtus Verona rebuffed over Danilo Ruiz Díaz

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Agropecuario Argentino have kept their man, and Virtus Verona go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Rodrigo Pepe 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.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Nobody could get near Nicola Patanè

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Virtus Verona lose Flavio Ferri

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

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

The afternoon belonged to Ezequiel Bustamante

A mark of 7.64, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Samuele Bonetti was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Virtus Verona dressing room was either.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Francesco Toffanin asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A fracture rules Rodrigo Pepe out for 18 days

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

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Edoardo Cuel keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Virtus Verona may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match12 Dec 2026

The drought breaks for Virtus Verona

8 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Alcione Milano were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Virtus Verona

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

The terraces14 Dec 2026

One of their own: Rafael Melo

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match12 Dec 2026

Iacopo Cernigoi sends Virtus Verona past Alcione Milano

It finished 1‑0, and it was Iacopo Cernigoi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Virtus Verona.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Francesco Toffanin runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Samuele Bonetti has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Samuele Bonetti on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A fracture rules Rodrigo Pepe out for 64 days

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

Squad2 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Virtus Verona

Ezequiel Bustamante 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.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Francesco Toffanin was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Rafael Melo

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Rafael Melo has come out of that comparison in the side, and Virtus Verona have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

85% of the income goes out in wages at Virtus Verona

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Edoardo Cuel 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Virtus Verona take the armband off Ezequiel Bustamante

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Half-satisfied: Samuele Bonetti on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Francesco Toffanin asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Rodrigo Pepe breaks a bone — 79 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 79 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad19 Oct 2026

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

Leonardo Zarpellon runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Samuele Bonetti chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Enrico Alfonso

“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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Rafael Melo is the weekend's best young player

At 19 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

Match17 Oct 2026

No goals between Virtus Verona and Renate

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Renate will be the happier side with the point.

Looking ahead19 Oct 2026

A reunion for Marco Ballarini

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Triestina in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
