Market

Leonardo Stanzani hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Carpi can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Edoardo Zaia says Carpi 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.

Match

No end in sight to Carpi's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Carpi has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Carpi cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Words exchanged at Carpi

Leonardo Morosini 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Carpi

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Erik Gerbi

“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.

Match

Carpi come up short against Campobasso

Campobasso left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match

10 matches without a win for Carpi

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Carpi are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Leonardo Morosini 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 Carpi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Carpi

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

Match

Erik Gerbi’s goal not enough for Carpi

Erik Gerbi scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Perugia, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

Valerio Vignali: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

Samuele Giallombardo 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.

The terraces

The glare is on Matteo Sorzi

Every touch weighed, every quote parsed, every mistake replayed. Some players grow into that; some are quietly finished by it; nobody knows which until afterwards.

The dugout

Milton Pereyra knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Milton Pereyra trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Matteo Sorzi linked with a move away

The name of Matteo Sorzi keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Carpi say nothing, which says plenty.
