Match30 Apr 2029
Trento up to position 2
55 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Federico Carrizo 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 The request is on a desk at Trento, and it is not being withdrawn.

Trento count the cost of losing Gianmarco Testa

The manager makes an example of Marco Fossati
“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.

Christian Capone 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.
