Market

Nicolò Cambiaghi 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 The request is on a desk at Bologna, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Daniel Boloca stays at Sassuolo as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Bologna will try again when the window opens; Sassuolo may not be selling by then.

Match

Riccardo Orsolini sends Bologna past Lecce

It finished 1‑0, and it was Riccardo Orsolini’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bologna.

Player ratings

One of those days for Riccardo Orsolini

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.20, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

A falling-out at Bologna

Valerio Aureli and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Martin Vitík

Defensive actions: 17. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

The dugout

A satisfied Ciro Tagliabue

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Ciro Tagliabue could afford to be generous.

Player ratings

Artem Dovbyk was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. 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.

In brief
