Player ratings9 Nov 2026
Alessandro Giovannini, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.91
A mark of 7.91 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

No hiding place for Luca Martelli
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luca Martelli, and the manager let it.

Forli and Gubbio take a point apiece
It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Paolo Fabbri was not hiding it after 2‑2, and nobody in the Forli dressing room was either.

The plan did not have a place for Francesco Menarini
Nobody at Forli is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Nicola Mandrelli 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.

Gabriele Perretta ran the game
Chances created: 6. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.
