Player ratings

Francisco González Metilli, 35, rolls back the years — 8.06

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.06 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Elliot Saba 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 Arezzo can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Tristan Diependael has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Arezzo they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Words exchanged at Arezzo

Luca Nadalino 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.

Match

Arezzo see off Avellino

Three points for Arezzo, 2‑0 the final word against Avellino in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market

Still no ink between Arezzo and Fabio Domingos

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Arezzo, another week without a signature from Fabio Domingos.

Squad

Edwin Martinez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Edwin Martinez commits to Arezzo for another 3 years.

Squad

A row about effort at Arezzo

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

The dugout

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 2‑0, Interim Coach could afford to be generous.

Market

Gianfranco Livia 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 Arezzo can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Arezzo

Luca Nadalino 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.

Squad

A move Paulo da Costa would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Paulo da Costa is living that version at Arezzo, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

The decline has begun for Francisco González Metilli

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 35 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Arezzo is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

Match

A bad afternoon for Arezzo against Catania

1‑2 to Catania, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Interim Coach answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

A row about effort at Arezzo

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

Market

A long bet from Arezzo on Edwin Martinez

He is 18, and nobody at Arezzo signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market

No place for Keverton in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Keverton has his answer from Arezzo; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
