Squad

Mathias Pereira Lage breaks a bone — 14 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

9 saves: Ben Voll was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Joel Chima Fujita 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 St. Pauli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at St. Pauli

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

Transfer targets

Door shut on Max Moerstedt

St. Pauli asked and Eintracht Frankfurt said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Martijn Kaars’s goal not enough for St. Pauli

Martijn Kaars scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to VfL Wolfsburg, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Dominik Busch to a room that had heard them before.

Market

St. Pauli buy the years ahead of Carlo Evangelista

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

The dugout

Marc Guiu 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 St. Pauli, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Player ratings

Pote runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Fiorentina

Iliman N'Diaye 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Carlo Evangelista at Fiorentina

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Carlo Evangelista is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Mateo Pellegrino the difference as Fiorentina beat Hellas Verona

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

Player ratings

Iliman N'Diaye was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.13. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

5 Fiorentina players away with their countries

The training ground goes quiet for a fortnight. 5 men have gone off to be somebody else’s players, and the manager is left with the ones nobody has called.

Squad

8 new faces, and Fiorentina are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

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.” Jacopo Marini, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Market

The Dodo story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Dodo signs something — a contract at Fiorentina or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief

  • Looking ahead Alieu Njie goes back to face Torino
  • Loan watch The goals keep arriving from Moise Kean’s exile
  • The dugout Beto has been promised minutes
