Boardroom

Window shuts: 21 in, 24 out at Farense

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 21 arrived, 24 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market

Jonathan Pineda raises the bar for Farense

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Farense heard it as anything else.

Market

Jaílson wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Boardroom

Farense still without a manager

36 days since the seat came open, a list of names doing the rounds, and nobody has signed anything. Every week this drags on the shortlist gets shorter.

Squad

A falling-out at Farense

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

Squad

Wanyson is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Cláudio Falcão 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.

Match

Nikola Gjorgjev’s goal not enough for Farense

Nikola Gjorgjev scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Leiria, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

Gonçalo Silva 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 Vasco da Gama Courier

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Words exchanged at Vasco da Gama

Cuiabano and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Vasco da Gama training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Paulo Henrique 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.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Vasco da Gama

Something was said to Nuno Moreira and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Brenner

“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.

The dugout

When it matters, Paulo Henrique plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Facundo Colidio knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Vasco da Gama, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Paulo Henrique talk will not go away

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

Squad

Gabriel Peixoto still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Vasco da Gama would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Wanyson leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Wanyson leaves Vasco da Gama the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
