Boardroom26 Mar 2029

Pressure builds in the Pianese boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market26 Mar 2029

Marco Bertini puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Pianese, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces26 Mar 2029

Fear has settled over Pianese

Position 16, 29 points, and a crowd that arrives already braced. Relegation seasons are lost in exactly this atmosphere, and everybody who has lived through one recognises it immediately.

Player ratings26 Mar 2029

Paolo Fabiano Pagliusi, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.72

A mark of 7.72 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Francesco Proietto 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 Pianese this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Mar 2029

Roman Dixon 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.

Match24 Mar 2029

Vis Pesaro take the points off Pianese

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

Squad26 Mar 2029

The manager makes an example of Pierluigi La Porta

“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.

Squad26 Mar 2029

A Pianese teenager takes the young player award

Paolo Fabiano Pagliusi is 19, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

The terraces9 Oct 2028

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 30 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad9 Oct 2028

A move Giacomo Pavanello 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. Giacomo Pavanello is living that version at Pianese, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match7 Oct 2028

Pianese come up short against Pontedera

Pontedera left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad9 Oct 2028

The manager makes an example of Luca Fabrizi

“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.

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

Amar Al-Yuhaybi's mistake decides it

Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Pianese needed to.

Market9 Oct 2028

Pianese and Matteo Colombo 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.

Nobody could get near Ousmane Niang

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
