Roman Shoronov 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 The request is on a desk at Carpi, and it is not being withdrawn.

Words exchanged at Carpi
Nicolás López 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.

Matteo Figoli 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.

Carpi come up short against Renate
Renate left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Lorenzo Abati 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.

Rasmus Andersen stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Rasmus Andersen and Carpi agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

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 0‑1 Robert Price left the room before anybody could ask which.

The plan did not have a place for Alexandre Sousa
Nobody at Carpi 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.

Danilo Regali was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 9. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
In brief
- The dugout Nicolò Giuliari asks for a word with the manager
- Squad Henry Wright still has not settled
- Looking ahead Carpi host Trento
