Squad

Daniele Sorrentino signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniele Sorrentino and Torres agree another 3 years.

Squad

Real improvement from Mamadou Kebbeh at Torres

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mamadou Kebbeh is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market

Michael Brentan is free to find somewhere else

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

Match

Torres refuse to lose to Ternana

A point taken on 93 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

The dugout

No hiding place for Cristian Fabriani

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Cristian Fabriani, and the manager let it.

Squad

Juan Marcelo Aimar 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 Torres know it.

Transfer targets

Torres ask about Idrissa Guèye

A loan enquiry to Udinese: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

Torres try to borrow Patrick Ciurria

Monza have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Torres try to borrow Aleksandar Stanković

Inter have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Alberto Lunghi 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 Torres this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Daniele Giorico

“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.

Squad

Juan Marcelo Aimar signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Juan Marcelo Aimar and Torres agree another 1 years.

Squad

Words at Torres training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mattia Sala 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.

Looking ahead

Torres take on the side everybody is chasing

Ascoli arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

Squad

The weekend belonged to Adama Diakité

Player of the week, judged against every other man in the division. A small award, and one most careers never collect.

The dugout

Riccardo Idda gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Riccardo Idda is on it.

Market

The Andrea Zaccagno question follows Torres around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Andrea Zaccagno’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

The manager makes Cristian Fabriani a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Torres. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
