Andrea Ferraris says Pescara 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.

Erdis Kraja 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 Pescara can pretend not to have heard.

Bogdan Popov 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 Pescara know it.

The manager makes an example of Naby Keïta

Magnus Brøndbo has seen enough of Forli
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pescara, and 0 appearances in 19 say he has earned the hearing.

Pescara keep their word to Gianmarco Cangiano
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.
