From our football correspondent Crisis

Match15 Apr 2028

The wait goes on for Ospitaletto

11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market17 Apr 2028

Andrea Nesci asks to leave Ospitaletto

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings17 Apr 2028

A chastening introduction for Alessandro Castroreale — 5.67

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.67 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad17 Apr 2028

Stefano Pellizzari falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad17 Apr 2028

The manager makes an example of Andrea Silipo

“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.

Match15 Apr 2028

A bad afternoon for Ospitaletto against Cittadella

0‑1 to Cittadella, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad17 Apr 2028

Francesco De Francesco 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 Ospitaletto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Apr 2028

Michele Somma signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Michele Somma commits to Ospitaletto for another 3 years.

Player ratings17 Apr 2028

Andrea Silipo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad6 Sep 2027

Luca Lulli damages knee ligaments — 62 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 62 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

A defender's afternoon for Leonardo Capezzi

Defensive actions: 32. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Vincenzo Di Somma has been here 8 seasons

14 appearances across 8 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Real improvement from Riccardo D'Agostino at Sorrento

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

Squad6 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Sorrento

Luca Crecco 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.

Match4 Sep 2027

Vincenzo Plescia sends Sorrento past Benevento

It finished 1‑0, and it was Vincenzo Plescia’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Sorrento.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

The afternoon belonged to Vincenzo Plescia

7.95, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Sorrento had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Market6 Sep 2027

A long bet from Sorrento on Riccardo D'Agostino

He is 19, and nobody at Sorrento signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market6 Sep 2027

Claudio Santini is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Sorrento has been clear about where Claudio Santini stands, which is more than many ever get.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad5 Jul 2027

Michele Somma says Sorrento 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.

Market5 Jul 2027

Andrea D'Aniello’s move to Novara falls through

The deal that would have taken Andrea D'Aniello to Novara has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Sorrento with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Luca Crecco 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 Sorrento this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Jul 2027

A late step up for Denis Portanova

At 26 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Home is on Mher Kankanyan's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Sorrento are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Boardroom5 Jul 2027

Sorrento sign 4 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

In brief
