Marked for Luigi Samele

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Matteo Marotta

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

Match

8 matches without a win for Giana Erminio

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Giana Erminio are no longer polite ones.

The dugout

Vincenzo Vitale: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Giana Erminio have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Marcos Delgado 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.

Match

The goals have deserted Giana Erminio

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Giana Erminio can tell you which week it ends in.

The dugout

Luigi Samele 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Giana Erminio

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

A promise honoured at Giana Erminio

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Giana Erminio

Tommaso Duca 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.

Squad

Words at Giana Erminio training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolas Previtali 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.

Transfer targets

Giana Erminio rebuffed over Cristian Cauz

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Empoli have kept their man, and Giana Erminio go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Milton Pereyra is a square peg at Giana Erminio

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.

Boardroom

Giana Erminio say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Matteo Marotta

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Lecco in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Squad

Somebody is after Luigi Samele’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Luigi Samele suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Giana Erminio have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

In brief
