A defender's goal wins it for Cremonese — 7.91
1 for Michele Collocolo, marked 7.91, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Still nobody has beaten Cremonese
The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

The manager makes an example of Federico Bonazzoli
“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.

Cremonese get the job done against Carrarese
A 2‑0 win over Carrarese, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Another one collected away from home
3 on the bounce on the road for Cremonese. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Morten Thorsby in the eights
A performance of 8.30 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
Squad26 Oct 2026
Tempers go at Cremonese
Davide Garatti 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.

Tommaso Barbieri was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The manager’s verdict
“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Adriano Vannucci kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.
