Match

Venezia are in real trouble now

Position 20, 25 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match

The wait goes on for Venezia

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Boardroom

Venezia spell it out for Angelo Ranieri

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

Market

Simon Harrasser 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 The request is on a desk at Venezia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

The Venezia board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Squad

Juan Jesus stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Juan Jesus and Venezia agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Venezia come up short against Napoli

Napoli left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Kevin Cannavò runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Bartol Franjić 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.

Match

10 matches without a win for Venezia

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Venezia are no longer polite ones.

Market

Antonio Casas 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 Venezia can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Sonosi Daldum has said yes to FC Lahti

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Venezia have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Squad

Juan Jesus 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 Venezia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Venezia

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Transfer targets

Venezia rebuffed over Exequiel Zeballos

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Lazio have kept their man, and Venezia go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

One of our own: Federico Armani joins the Venezia first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Federico Armani is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
