Alessio Barbieri damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market1 Nov 2027

Andrea Sergio Mazza 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 Ravenna can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings1 Nov 2027

Joshua Tenkorang runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad1 Nov 2027

A row about effort at Ravenna

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Martín Benítez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match30 Oct 2027

Gustavo Rigazzi’s goal not enough for Ravenna

Gustavo Rigazzi scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Campobasso, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Words exchanged at Ravenna

Edoardo Duca and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Marco Bevilacqua gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑3 Gabriele Bellini left the room before anybody could ask which.

“I want to play”: Klāvs Bethers speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Squad25 Oct 2027

A one-man rearguard from Giacomo Poluzzi

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad25 Oct 2027

The knee: Alessio Barbieri out for 24 days

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

Squad25 Oct 2027

Martín Benítez 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.

The dugout25 Oct 2027

The manager makes an example of Luca Falbo

“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.

Squad25 Oct 2027

Andrés Ríos signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Andrés Ríos commits to Ravenna for another 2 years.

The dugout25 Oct 2027

Half-satisfied: Gabriele Bellini on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout25 Oct 2027

The plan did not have a place for Martín Benítez

Nobody at Ravenna 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.

Market25 Oct 2027

Andrés Ríos brings the grey hairs Ravenna lacked

At 38, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Match23 Oct 2027

Ravenna and Pescara cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Pescara came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
