The Virtus Entella Gazette
Market2 Oct 2034
Antonio De Palo 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 Virtus Entella can pretend not to have heard.

Lucas Hagan is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Virtus Entella is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Bachirou Yaméogo 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 Virtus Entella this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Andrea Lantignotti sends Virtus Entella past Casertana
It finished 1‑0, and it was Andrea Lantignotti’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Virtus Entella.

A row about effort at Virtus Entella
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Facundo Morales was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Bachirou Yaméogo is a square peg at Virtus Entella
The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
Player ratings2 Oct 2034
Nobody on the pitch touched Andrea Lantignotti
7.94, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Virtus Entella had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

A place in the month's best eleven for Angelo Marchetti
Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Angelo Marchetti has come out of that comparison in the side, and Virtus Entella have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

A satisfied Interim Coach
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Interim Coach could afford to be generous.
In brief
