The numbers do not look good at Lecco
Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Sefer Emini, 36, rolls back the years — 8.87
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.87 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

A move Alexandro Ravelli would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Alexandro Ravelli is living that version at Lecco, and it tends to show in the first month.

Sefer Emini 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 Lecco this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Novara take the points off Lecco
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Lukas Falk was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.86. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Andrea Mallamo 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.
Market13 Oct 2036
Lecco and Alexandro Ravelli are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
