The Pergolettese Sentinel

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

The knee: Zaid Jaouhari out for 141 days

141 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Pergolettese lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Pergolettese count the cost of losing Samuele Careccia

72 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Marco Andrea Tremolada 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 Pergolettese this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

One of their own: Anton Hlushchenko

He is 23 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Mattia Capoferri

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

Match

Pergolettese get the job done against Pro Patria

A 1‑0 win over Pro Patria, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Pergolettese count the cost of losing Simone Russo

21 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Anton Hlushchenko

Marked 8.09 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Daniele Ferrandino beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

In brief
