Pietro Candelari 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 Trento this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

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

Marco Fossati knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Trento, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Nobody writes a headline about a tutor. Nobody has to be told, either, what happens to a signing who spends two years being the man nobody can talk to at lunch.
