Molde say no — this time

The offer from Sarpsborg 08 for Sivert Sira Hansen was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Benjamin Verbič wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Molde know it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

A last season at home is what Benjamin Verbič is after

It is sentimental, it is completely genuine, and it is the beginning of a departure nobody has announced. The club can be gracious about it or it can pretend not to have heard.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Molde

Benjamin Verbič 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.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Mats Møller Dæhli 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.

Market1 Mar 2027

The clock runs on Peder Hoel Lervik's contract

10 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Nothing got past Zé Rafael

31 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.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Gabriel Barbosa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Neymar, 34, rolls back the years — 8.06

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.06 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Zé Rafael 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 Santos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Santos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Neymar 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.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Lucas Veríssimo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.75. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match19 Sep 2026

Lucas Veríssimo the difference as Santos beat Bahia

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Lucas Veríssimo. 1‑0 against Bahia, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Álvaro Barreal 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Willian Arão is still paying for one afternoon at Santos

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Match19 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Santos

1‑2 against Vasco da Gama, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

No sign of nerves from Gabriel Bontempo at 21 — 7.75

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Gabriel Bontempo did not need any: 7.75, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Nothing got past Adonis Frías

27 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.

A first appearance Pradella will want to forget — 5.71

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.71, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Gabriel Barbosa runs at them all day

Benjamín Rollheiser sends Santos past Internacional

It finished 1‑0, and it was Benjamín Rollheiser’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Santos.

Squad24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Álvaro Barreal

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