Marko Farji runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Venezia

Toma Bašić 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

Venezia get the job done against Südtirol

A 1‑0 win over Südtirol, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Loan watch21 Sep 2026

Mohamed Malang Touré counts the days

“I watch every Venezia game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Genoa runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Akor Adams was the difference for Venezia

Marked 7.55. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Andrea Adorante dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Venezia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simone Panada is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad21 Sep 2026

The plan did not have a place for Marin Šverko

Nobody at Venezia 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.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Thierry Rendall Correia

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 11 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Matteo Grandi

16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Venezia lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market14 Sep 2026

Thierry Rendall Correia wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Venezia hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Marin Šverko 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.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Venezia

Ahmed Sidibé 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.

Loan watch14 Sep 2026

Lapo Fondi counts the days

“I watch every Venezia game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Crotone runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match12 Sep 2026

Honours even between Venezia and Bari

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Andrea Adorante finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Venezia have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Alessandro Pietrelli

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market14 Sep 2026

The Filip Stanković story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Filip Stanković signs something — a contract at Venezia or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Leganés come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Venezia did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market3 Aug 2026

Thierry Rendall Correia wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Venezia hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Thierry Rendall Correia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Thierry Rendall Correia commits to Venezia for another 4 years.

Tempers go at Venezia

Toma Bašić 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.

No place for Armel Bella-Kotchap in the plan

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