Alessandro Bianco raises the bar for Modena

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Modena heard it as anything else.

Match

No end in sight to Modena's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Modena has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Modena

Manuel De Luca 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

Real improvement from Carlo Carreri at Modena

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Carlo Carreri is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Francesco Zampano 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

Cesena take the points off Modena

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Antonio Imputato runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A move Luke Mbete 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. Luke Mbete is living that version at Modena, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Words at Modena training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Francesco Zampano 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Modena

Fabio Gerli 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

No hiding place for Alessandro Sersanti

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

Player ratings

Luca Zanimacchia stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.01 on the card, and the Modena support went home talking about one name.

Market

Talks stall between Modena and Rúben Semedo

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Match

Modena draw a blank against Pescara

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Pescara defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Market

Dro arrives on loan

Modena have taken Dro on loan from Paris Saint-Germain — cover where cover was needed.
