The paperwork begins on Elias Cobbaut
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Trento have done the hard part with Sparta Prague, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Tempers go at Trento
Pietro Candelari 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.

This league is too small for Denzel
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Trento will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
