There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Edoardo Vascotto is living that version at SV Ried, and it tends to show in the first month.

Philipp Pomer 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.
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
That is the business done at SV Ried until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Alan Duré has just signed for SV Ried, and for once the answer mattered.
SV Ried asked and Bradford City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at SV Ried would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
Not every move is upward. Anteo Fetahu has accepted terms at SV Ried that are worse than the ones he left, and the only question that matters now is whether the football makes up for it.
There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. SV Ried will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.
