Squad

Gabriele Milone breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

The step up is real for Elijah Scott

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

A falling-out at Salernitana

Marco Capuano and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Simone Pieraccini 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.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Elijah Scott

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Salernitana told Elijah Scott something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

Elijah Scott is still paying for one afternoon at Salernitana

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout

Marco Capuano knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Salernitana, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Looking ahead

Armando Anastasio faces his old club

Cosenza next, and one man in the Salernitana dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

The Luca Villa question follows Salernitana around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Luca Villa’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Facundo Lescano’s exile

17 goals in 24 games at Salernitana — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Salernitana updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Squad

Ismail Achik wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Salernitana know it.

Squad

Appearance number 200 for Antonio Donnarumma

200 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

Squad

Vladimir Golemić wants one last season at home

Every long career reaches the week the last one is thought about. He would like it to be where he started, and Salernitana know now that the thought has arrived.

Squad

Words exchanged at Salernitana

Simone Pieraccini 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.

Player ratings

Facundo Lescano stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.93 on the card, and the Salernitana support went home talking about one name.

Player ratings

Elijah Scott could not find anything

3.76. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Match

Salernitana and Sorrento take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Emanuele Bernardi was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Salernitana dressing room was either.

In brief

  • The dugout Elijah Scott is still being punished for one mistake
  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Jonas Heinz
  • The dugout Ismail Achik knocks on the manager’s door

Market

Salernitana turn down Estoril Praia for Franco Ferrari

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The dugout

Jonas Heinz says Salernitana went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

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

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

Transfer targets

Salernitana rebuffed over Taras Mykhavko

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

Squad

A falling-out at Salernitana

Simone Pieraccini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Muhamed Varela Djamanca

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Kees de Boer

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Salernitana told Kees de Boer something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Luca Villa

A mark of 7.55, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

No hiding place for Franco Ferrari

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

In brief
