Market

Alessandro Scacchetti hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Carpi can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Carpi

Tommaso Panelli and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Matteo Rossini 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Abdoulaye Sall

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

The dugout

Davide Zagnoni knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Carpi, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Matteo Sorzi question follows Carpi around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Matteo Sorzi’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match

Carpi leave it late against Ravenna

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 87th, and Ravenna spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Market

Matteo Rossini asks to leave Carpi

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words exchanged at Carpi

Erik Gerbi and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces

One of their own: Rodrigo Gallo

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Rodrigo Gallo sends Carpi past Ravenna

It finished 1‑0, and it was Rodrigo Gallo’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Carpi.

Squad

Leonardo Morosini 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.

Squad

Luca Marchesi out for 35 days

The medical room confirms 35 days on the sidelines for Luca Marchesi, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

No hiding place for Tommaso Panelli

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

Player ratings

Rodrigo Gallo stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.43 on the card, and the Carpi support went home talking about one name.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Looking ahead The leaders are next for Carpi
  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Elia Giani
