No end in sight to Lumezzane's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lumezzane has to find a result from somewhere.

A bad afternoon for Lumezzane against Union Brescia
0‑2 to Union Brescia, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

No place for Federico Viero in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Federico Viero has his answer from Lumezzane; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The Davide De Marino story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Davide De Marino signs something — a contract at Lumezzane or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
In brief
