Book finished. Review posted.
Like Tim Parks' book on Verona, I didn't want the season to end. Loved the weaving of detail throughout the general narrative of the season itself.
Nuggets of gold like what the speciality dish of Ascoli is!!!
That's what makes a great book!!

🏴🦁⚽️🏆 Man Utd Begin Second Round of Job Cuts
Up to 200 Man Utd staff face redundancy in the latest cuts under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Sports science, medical, and scouting may be hit. Morale is low after a Europa League final loss and looming £100m financial shortfall without European football.

How did this team not win a league title??!!
Vol.1 - Parma.
Buffon in goals with Thuram & Cannavaro in front of him.
Anchored in midfield with Dino Baggio and the silky Veron playing ahead of him.
Up front with the riches of Crespo and Chiesa.
Incredible talent.
