Squad

A fracture rules Riccardo Marchizza out for 121 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Frosinone will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Jérémy Oyono keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Frosinone may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Lorenzo Palmisani keeps Frosinone in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Tempers go at Frosinone

Lorenzo Palmisani 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.

Boardroom

191% of the income goes out in wages at Frosinone

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Loan watch

Cristian De Angelis wants to come home

“I did not go to Dolomiti Bellunesi to sit and watch. I want to come back to Frosinone and fight for my place.” 4 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Squad

A fracture rules Riccardo Marchizza out for 128 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Frosinone will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Giacomo Calò

Defensive actions: 27. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Ilario Monterisi was immovable

26 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Francesco Gelli 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 Frosinone this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Giorgi Kvernadze

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces

Frosinone supporters have found a favourite in Antonio Raimondo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Antonio Raimondo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Frosinone get the job done against Juve Stabia

A 1‑0 win over Juve Stabia, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Antonio Raimondo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.15. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Jérémy Oyono 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.

Squad

Gioele Zacchi is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Giorgi Kvernadze

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Eldin Lolić is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Frosinone is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Giacomo Calò 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 Frosinone this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Sergio Kalaj has improved at 26, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad

Words at Frosinone training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Farès Ghedjemis 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.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Giacomo Calò

7.78, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Frosinone had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Pescara take the points off Frosinone

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Giorgi Kvernadze runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Massimo Zilli

“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.

Squad

Real improvement from Lorenzo Palmisani at Frosinone

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Lorenzo Palmisani is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Anthony Oyono in the eights

A performance of 8.88 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The terraces

Frosinone supporters have found a favourite in Antonio Fiori

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Antonio Fiori has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Lorenzo Palmisani

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Ben Lhassine Koné

Marked 9.13 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Ben Lhassine Koné the difference as Frosinone beat Venezia

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ben Lhassine Koné. 2‑1 against Venezia, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Giorgi Kvernadze runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

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 terraces

The spotlight tightens on Lorenzo Palmisani

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Squad

Jérémy Oyono 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

6 new faces, and Frosinone are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

Babacar Diallo brings the grey hairs Frosinone lacked

At 37, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Giorgi Kvernadze

8 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Match

Südtirol punish Frosinone for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Antonio Raimondo will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Frosinone escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings

A brace, and Antonio Raimondo takes the afternoon — 8.05

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Antonio Raimondo provided it, and the 8.05 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Kevin Barcella at 20 — 8.55

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Kevin Barcella did not need any: 8.55, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Gioele Zacchi is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Beaten 3‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Ilario Monterisi

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

Frosinone supporters have found a favourite in Kevin Barcella

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Kevin Barcella has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

Gioele Zacchi is a Frosinone player

The fee is $1.8M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Sassuolo drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market

So close: Eldin Lolić’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Cagliari moved on, Eldin Lolić reports back to Frosinone, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Boardroom

Wages eat 242% of everything Frosinone 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Giorgi Kvernadze

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Lorenzo Palmisani 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.

Antonio Raimondo scores twice — 8.73

Two goals and a mark of 8.73 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Frosinone, and it is not being withdrawn.

Giacomo Calò shuts the door

Defensive actions: 24, 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 ratings

Nothing got past Niccolò Corrado

21 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Joan Sastre gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Joan Sastre has just signed for Frosinone, and for once the answer mattered.

Sergio Kalaj 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 Frosinone can pretend not to have heard.

Dolomiti Bellunesi come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Frosinone did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Frosinone this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Frosinone

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Frosinone promote Roberto Caruso from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Roberto Caruso 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.
