The manager makes an example of Luca Chierico
“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.

Andrea Cagnano goes back to face Pisa
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Andrea Cagnano’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Arezzo needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The Camillo Tavernelli story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Camillo Tavernelli signs something — a contract at Arezzo or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dressing room has a star in it
Fali Candé arrived with a record at a bigger club than this one, and the room has treated him accordingly. The young ones watch him train; the senior ones watch to see whether it lasts.

A door opens for Gennaro Iaccarino
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

“I want to play”: Mattia Concetti speaks
“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Andrea Cagnano has settled at Arezzo
The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

Looking ahead: Pisa at home
A side in position 8 visits next. The result will not make anybody’s season and it could quietly break the shape of one, which is why the manager has been watching the video since Sunday.

The manager comes out for Matteo Gilli
Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Matteo Gilli has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.
In brief
- Loan watch Mattia Viviani first choice at Pianese
- Squad Marco Olivieri is the talk of the training ground
