Anger at Virtus Verona spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom15 May 2028

The scrutiny sharpens at Virtus Verona

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Virtus Verona is running low.

Tim Haksteeg keeps Virtus Verona in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Hans Vertonghen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Only the photograph left for Giorgos Lemonakis

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Giorgos Lemonakis will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Virtus Verona the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Nothing got past Rayan Atikallah

23 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Hans Vertonghen 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 Virtus Verona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Kacper Potulski 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.

Virtus Verona count the cost of losing Diego Begnini

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

Match8 Apr 2028

The wait goes on for Virtus Verona

5 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.

Match8 Apr 2028

The goals have deserted Virtus Verona

5 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Virtus Verona can tell you which week it ends in.

Tempers go at Virtus Verona

Hans Vertonghen 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.

No hiding place for Sheikh Sibi

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

Match8 Apr 2028

Union Brescia take the points off Virtus Verona

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Words at Virtus Verona training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hachim Mastour 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.

Enrico Alfonso told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Enrico Alfonso has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Virtus Verona.
