Back came Serie A, and back came the goals: a casual eight of them in the lunchtime kick-off alone. Yet the goal of the round – and possibly the season so far – came in a very different game between Spezia and Verona. This is the language of star players and household names, not uncapped 25-year-olds playing for a midtable side. It was another little mark of how rapidly Zaccagni’s star is rising. Zaccagni is a player whose contributions do not always show up in those most measurable statistics of goals and assists.
