The Guidonia Montecelio Post

5 Jun 2034
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad5 Jun 2034

Stefano Esempio breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom5 Jun 2034

Guidonia Montecelio spell it out for Orazio Caprioli

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Orazio Caprioli has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom5 Jun 2034

Crisis meeting at Guidonia Montecelio

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Market5 Jun 2034

Lorenzo Battagliola asks to leave Guidonia Montecelio

“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.

Boardroom5 Jun 2034

An order from above at Guidonia Montecelio: somebody has to go

Balance sheets do not care about form or about who the manager was planning to build around. The board have decided a sale is required, and the only question left is which name ends up carrying it.

Squad5 Jun 2034

Michele Avella in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Guidonia Montecelio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Jun 2034

Stefan Coman gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Stefan Coman has just signed for Guidonia Montecelio, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom5 Jun 2034

$947.5K of the owner's money at Guidonia Montecelio

The shortfall was covered from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be relieved and entitled to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings usually arrive together.

Squad5 Jun 2034

Words at Guidonia Montecelio training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hamza Ramani is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

10 Jan 2033
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market10 Jan 2033

Stefan Coman 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 Ravenna, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad10 Jan 2033

Lorenzo Lonardi 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.

Squad10 Jan 2033

Tempers go at Ravenna

Joyce Anacoura was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match8 Jan 2033

A bad afternoon for Ravenna against Vis Pesaro

0‑1 to Vis Pesaro, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings10 Jan 2033

Abdel Rachid Zagré runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad10 Jan 2033

The manager makes an example of Davide Vitturini

“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.

Squad10 Jan 2033

Gabriele Bono has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Ravenna know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market10 Jan 2033

The Abdel Rachid Zagré question follows Ravenna around

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

Market10 Jan 2033

Martino Fabbri leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Martino Fabbri leaves Ravenna the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Squad13 Dec 2032

A knee injury of the worst kind for Lorenzo Lonardi

29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ravenna lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad13 Dec 2032

A one-man rearguard from Luca Martelli

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad15 Nov 2032

Joyce Anacoura damages knee ligaments — 40 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 40 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market15 Nov 2032

Stefan Coman 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 Ravenna can pretend not to have heard.

Abdel Rachid Zagré was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.36. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad15 Nov 2032

Abdel Rachid Zagré is carrying Ravenna

8 goals and a season average of 7.20. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.
