Squad

Tempers go at Cavese

Tobias Slotsager 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Francesco D'Amore

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Cavese see off Sorrento

Three points for Cavese, 1‑0 the final word against Sorrento in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout

Leonardo Ubaldi 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.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Francesco D'Amore

A mark of 7.78, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Cavese

Something was said to Ruggero Frosinini and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Cavese

13 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Marcello Gastaldello kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Looking ahead

The leaders are next for Cavese

Bari top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

In brief
