Words exchanged at Giugliano
Facundo González 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.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enzo Ebosse 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.

A promise honoured at Giugliano
Something was said to Giovanni Vaglica and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Enzo Ebosse knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Giugliano, and both men came out saying it was fine.

A test against the best for Giugliano
The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Sampdoria.

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Ibourahima Baldé goes back to face Sampdoria
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Ibourahima Baldé’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Giugliano needing him to play as if none of it matters.

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Giugliano would admit. It shows on Saturdays.
