Niccolò Pietra scores twice — 8.99

Two goals and a mark of 8.99 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Only the photograph left for Niccolò Pietra

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Niccolò Pietra will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Carpi the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Tempers go at Carpi

Matteo Sorzi 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.

Match8 Dec 2029

Whatever happens, Carpi do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match8 Dec 2029

Niccolò Pietra the difference as Carpi beat Forli

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Niccolò Pietra. 2‑1 against Forli, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Words at Carpi training over how hard people work

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

Match8 Dec 2029

Carpi hit back inside 4 minutes

Forli held the lead for 4 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Carpi answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Squad10 Dec 2029

No hiding place for Lorenzo Cancila

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

Squad10 Dec 2029

Carpi lose Emanuele Padulo

26 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Age has not caught Davide Zagnoni yet — 8.01

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.01 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tempers go at Carpi

Matteo Sorzi 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.

Squad12 Nov 2029

The manager makes an example of Tommaso Cecotti

“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.

Filippo Puletto in the eights

A performance of 8.55 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match10 Nov 2029

Abdoulaye Sall answers Bra immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Abdoulaye Sall had Carpi level again within 2 minutes, and Bra never got to play with a lead at all.

Squad12 Nov 2029

Carpi count the cost of losing Emanuele Padulo

55 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match10 Nov 2029

Carpi share the spoils with Bra

A 2‑2 draw with Bra leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
