Samuele Angori was immovable
108 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Rafiu Durosinmi is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Pisa is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

10 unbeaten for Pisa
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 10 matches without defeat is a foundation Pisa did not have in the autumn.

14 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

Mehdi Léris 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.

A day to forget for Gabriele Piccinini
Marked 2.86, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Michele Ribechini out for 22 days
The medical room confirms 22 days on the sidelines for Michele Ribechini, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
