Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Nehuén Pérez

Feirense and Porto have settled on $11.0M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Rodrigo Marquês

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Feirense have done the hard part with Oliveirense, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match

4 matches without a win for Feirense

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Feirense are no longer polite ones.

Transfer targets

Door shut on João Costa

Feirense asked and Braga said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A falling-out at Feirense

Nailson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Kévin Rodrigues was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Transfer targets

Feirense try to borrow Jonathan Afolabi

KV Mechelen have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad

André Picornell signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” André Picornell commits to Feirense for another 4 years.

The dugout

Francisco Meixedo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Feirense will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief

  • The dugout Rodolfo gets it from the manager
  • The dugout Fabio Gomes: “We have to be better”
  • The dugout Roberto does not fit this one

Match

Jaiminho leads the rout of Leixões

4‑1, and Jaiminho took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Feirense tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

Both of them Jaiminho's — 8.52

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.52, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Vintage João Pedro — 8.34

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.34, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

The step up is real for Kaiquy

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Transfer targets

Feirense rebuffed over Jeinner Fuentes

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Deportes Tolima have kept their man, and Feirense go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Player ratings

One of those days for Benny

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.15, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

A falling-out at Feirense

Alisson Souza and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Gusttavo 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.

The dugout

Fabio Gomes has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Fabio Gomes on a 4‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Rodolfo
  • Squad Jaiminho finally opens his account
  • The dugout Kirill Klimov asks for a word with the manager
