Nowhere to hide for Hellas Verona
0‑3 against Atalanta, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
The ground has had enough
“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 33 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Junior Ajayi hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hellas Verona can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Hellas Verona

The manager makes an example of Sandi Lovrić
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Hellas Verona promote Nicolò Valentini from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nicolò Valentini has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Emanuele De Carli steps up from the Hellas Verona academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Emanuele De Carli has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
