The Felgueiras Gazette

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad21 Feb 2028

João Pedro 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 Felgueiras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Words at Felgueiras training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. João Muniz 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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Ismaël Gharbi

11 goals and a season average of 7.32 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

A masterclass from Ismaël Gharbi

Marked 8.94 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad21 Feb 2028

The manager makes an example of Jalen Blesa

“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.

Match19 Feb 2028

Felgueiras share the spoils with Maritimo

A 2‑2 draw with Maritimo leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market21 Feb 2028

The João Queirós talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Felgueiras know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

Jalen Blesa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings21 Feb 2028

Afonso Peixoto never got going

5.75 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match15 Jan 2028

Felgueiras let it slip despite Jalen Blesa

Jalen Blesa had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and AVS were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings17 Jan 2028

A brace, and Jalen Blesa takes the afternoon — 8.45

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Jalen Blesa provided it, and the 8.45 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market17 Jan 2028

André Rodrigues 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 Felgueiras can pretend not to have heard.

Match15 Jan 2028

No end in sight to Felgueiras's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Felgueiras has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Max Thompson 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 Felgueiras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Rodrigo Viola gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Rodrigo Viola has just signed for Felgueiras, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Ismaël Gharbi 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.

Player ratings17 Jan 2028

The game went through André Rodrigues — 7.57

Marked 7.57 on 12 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Martín Reinoso gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The Estrela da Amadora Post

10 Jan 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad10 Jan 2028

Bernardo Schappo damages knee ligaments — 40 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 40 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Estrela da Amadora

Lovro Zvonarek 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.

Market10 Jan 2028

Eyes on Issiar Dramé again

The phone has started ringing about Issiar Dramé again, and this time the name on the line is Santa Clara. Estrela da Amadora are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad10 Jan 2028

Abraham Marcus 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.

Squad10 Jan 2028

No hiding place for Dudu

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

Match8 Jan 2028

Honours even between Estrela da Amadora and Famalicao

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings10 Jan 2028

Lovro Zvonarek runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market10 Jan 2028

The shop window has Timo Königsmann in it

Estrela da Amadora have let the market know Timo Königsmann can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market10 Jan 2028

Tiago Pinto leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Tiago Pinto leaves Estrela da Amadora the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
