Marked for Bora Dall'Osso

Match

The wait goes on for Carpi

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

19 days out for Bora Dall'Osso after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Carpi will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Leonardo Stanzani asks to leave Carpi

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Matteo Figoli pops up at the right end — 7.13

7.13, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad

Words exchanged at Carpi

Leonardo Morosini and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Carpi

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mario Sampirisi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Livorno take the points off Carpi

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

Carpi hit back inside 3 minutes

Livorno held the lead for 3 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Carpi out of the cup

Campobasso ended it 0‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Matteo Rossini 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 Carpi can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Bora Dall'Osso breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

The wait goes on for Carpi

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout

Milton Pereyra keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Carpi may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Carpi

Erik Gerbi 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.

Player ratings

Marco Forapani beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Mario Sampirisi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

No hiding place for Matteo Sorzi

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

In brief
