From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Arzignano boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market

Alessio Minei 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 The request is on a desk at Arzignano, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Cristian Minneci keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Arzignano may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Erald Lakti is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.58 with 12 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Alessandro Masala

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 24 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Tempers go at Arzignano

Erald Lakti 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.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Salvatore Boccia

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Erald Lakti in the eights

A performance of 9.16 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Andrea Sodero

Marked 8.86 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
