Nobody wants to play Foggia 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.

Antonio Prisco has agreed to leave Foggia for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Mamadou Coulibaly 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 Foggia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Islom To'xtaxo'jayev wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Foggia know it.

A row about effort at Foggia
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Till Winkelmann was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Defences have started doubling up on Giuseppe Guadagni
9 goals and a season average of 7.37 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.
Match4 May 2030
Giuseppe Guadagni the difference as Foggia beat Trapani
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Giuseppe Guadagni. 1‑0 against Trapani, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Ninety minutes of Giuseppe Guadagni at his very best
Marked 8.46. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Foggia.
