Alexandre Abel 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 Portimonense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Mo Dauda 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.

No hiding place for Diogo Vítor

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

Mindinho asks to leave Portimonense

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Tempers go at Portimonense

Carlinhos 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.

Nobody could get near Tiago Mamede

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

Nothing got past Jarleysom

20 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.

No hiding place for Welat Cagro

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

Talks stall between Portimonense and Tiago Mamede

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The afternoon belonged to Carlinhos

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

Too much change too quickly at Portimonense

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

A place in the month's best eleven for Tiago Mamede

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Tiago Mamede has come out of that comparison in the side, and Portimonense have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
