From our football correspondent Upbeat

The dugout

Vincenzo Pio Grimaldi keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Latina may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Tempers go at Latina

Giulio Parodi 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.

Squad

Words at Latina training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zachary Athekame 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.

Squad

Latina lose Edoardo De Simone

30 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Still no ink between Latina and Davide Mastrantonio

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Latina, another week without a signature from Davide Mastrantonio.

The dugout

Latina keep their word to Francisco Baridó

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad

Latina are still strangers to each other

5 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

When it matters, Zachary Athekame 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

No hiding place for Mattia Attinasi

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

In brief
