Stefano Gori says no to Bodo/Glimt

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Stefano Gori had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

The dugout

No hiding place for Tiago Casasola

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

The dugout

When it matters, Frederik Sørensen plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Luigi Silvestri asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Alberto Spagnoli

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Renate in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout

The manager makes Nicola Pasini a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Union Brescia. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Looking ahead

Union Brescia host Renate

Next up at home: Renate, who go into it in position 10. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

Squad

The selectors could not leave Alessandro Lamesta out

7.02 across ninety minutes and a place in the division's team of the week. He was the best player on that pitch and everybody there knew it.

Squad

Questions about Gabriele Zanini on the training pitch

The standards have slipped, and in a building where everybody watches everybody it has not gone unremarked. This is how a player loses a place before he loses one.

In brief
