Andrea Piazza shuts the door

Defensive actions: 29, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Flavio Sulejmani: 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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Giana Erminio

Matteo Marotta 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.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Lorenzo Berardi

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Matteo Colombara

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Matteo Marotta 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 Giana Erminio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Wages eat 291% of everything Giana Erminio earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Luigi Samele

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Luigi Samele, and the manager let it.

Match5 Sep 2026

Giana Erminio see off Lecco

Three points for Giana Erminio, 1‑0 the final word against Lecco in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Giacomo Gabbiani in the eights

A performance of 8.48 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Jacopo Nelli shuts the door

Defensive actions: 15, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Luca Ferri

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 14 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Nobody could get near Alessandro Galeandro

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Keehan Willows still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Giana Erminio would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Federico Renda signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Federico Renda and Giana Erminio agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Fer Pina has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Giana Erminio know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Luigi Samele's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market10 Aug 2026

Giana Erminio sign Federico Tonin, one for the future

Federico Tonin is 20, and Giana Erminio have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market10 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Giana Erminio and Luca Ferri

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