The Venezia Chronicle
Match23 Sep 2026
Lion Lauberbach sends Venezia through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Lion Lauberbach obliged against Triestina. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Venezia.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Lion Lauberbach scores twice — 9.20
Two goals and a mark of 9.20 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
A brace, and Akor Adams takes the afternoon — 8.77
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Akor Adams provided it, and the 8.77 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Lorenzo Montipò keeps Venezia in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match26 Sep 2026
Venezia make it 3 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Venezia have 3 straight wins of it.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Thierry Rendall Correia 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 Venezia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match26 Sep 2026
Venezia get the job done against Frosinone
A 2‑1 win over Frosinone, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Thierry Rendall Correia 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.

Venezia supporters have found a favourite in Alberto Olteanu
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 18-year-old it feels ownership of. Alberto Olteanu has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
