Match6 Jan 2029

No end in sight to Académico de Viseu's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Académico de Viseu has to find a result from somewhere.

Match6 Jan 2029

Académico de Viseu cannot find the net

9 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Market8 Jan 2029

Elia Plicco hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Académico de Viseu can pretend not to have heard.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Bryan Meyo says Académico de Viseu went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Tempers go at Académico de Viseu

André Clovis 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.

Squad8 Jan 2029

Diogo Pereira signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Diogo Pereira commits to Académico de Viseu for another 2 years.

Words at Académico de Viseu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikos Michelis is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Nobody could get near Mathis Jangeal

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

Player ratings8 Jan 2029

The afternoon belonged to Soufiane Messeguem

A mark of 7.42, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

André Clovis 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 Académico de Viseu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nikos Michelis 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.

Squad29 May 2028

The manager makes an example of Tomás Silva

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Académico de Viseu turn down AVS for Cristian Ferreira

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom19 Jul 2027

Cristian Ferreira signs for Braga while still at Académico de Viseu

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Cristian Ferreira has agreed terms with Braga for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Académico de Viseu sign Bryan Meyo for $390.0K

The paperwork is done: Bryan Meyo joins from Torreense in a deal worth $390.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Silas Andersen has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Académico de Viseu know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Daniele Sommariva asks to leave Académico de Viseu

“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.

Dominik Steczyk has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Académico de Viseu they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
