Match12 Apr 2031

A hiding for Carpi

Beaten 0‑3 by Ravenna, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad14 Apr 2031

7 saves: Matteo Sorzi was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market14 Apr 2031

Guillaume Bourgeois 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 The request is on a desk at Carpi, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout14 Apr 2031

Bruno Ranieri says Carpi went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad14 Apr 2031

A falling-out at Carpi

Matteo Sorzi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad14 Apr 2031

Niccolò Pietra is carrying Carpi

13 goals and a season average of 7.28. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Boardroom14 Apr 2031

The numbers do not look good at Carpi

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Squad14 Apr 2031

Leonardo Farina out for 25 days

The medical room confirms 25 days on the sidelines for Leonardo Farina, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom14 Apr 2031

Doors closed at Carpi

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Boardroom3 Mar 2031

Carpi spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Match1 Mar 2031

No end in sight to Carpi's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Carpi has to find a result from somewhere.

Market3 Mar 2031

Guillaume Bourgeois 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 Carpi can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings3 Mar 2031

Niccolò Pietra runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match1 Mar 2031

4 matches without a goal for Carpi

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad3 Mar 2031

Niccolò Pietra 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 Carpi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Mar 2031

Carpi come up short against Pianese

Pianese left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad3 Mar 2031

A row about effort at Carpi

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

The dugout3 Mar 2031

Erol Dost 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.

In brief

  • Squad Too much change too quickly at Carpi
  • Squad Bruno Ranieri stays put
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
