Filippo Alessio, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.61
A mark of 7.61 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Tempers go at Vicenza
Riccardo Gagno 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.

Real improvement from Daniil Dimitrișin at Vicenza
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniil Dimitrișin is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Words at Vicenza training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mattia Vitale 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.

The manager makes an example of Nicola Rauti
“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.

Mattia Vitale runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Honours even between Vicenza and Cittadella
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Nicola Rauti could have had three
11 attempts, none of them in. He got into the right places all afternoon, which is the hard part, and did the easy part badly — and that is the version of a bad day a manager can live with.

Marco Carraro never got going
5.70 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.
In brief
- Market Matteo Vescovi leaves for nothing
- Market Filippo Alessio linked with a move away
