Squad

9 saves: Arnas Voitinovičius was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Transfer targets

Fafe rebuffed over Abraham Marcus

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Estrela da Amadora have kept their man, and Fafe go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Eduardo Melo 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 Fafe this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

1 academy graduates step up at Fafe

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Market

Portimonense watching Tomás Teixeira

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Fafe have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Danny 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

A bad afternoon for Fafe against Sanjoanense

0‑2 to Sanjoanense, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Daniel Carvalho steps up from the Fafe academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Carvalho has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The dugout

João Freitas 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.

Squad

Eduardo Melo gets the move he always wanted

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

Squad

Diogo Castro signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Diogo Castro and Fafe agree another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Fafe

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

Squad

No place for Eduardo Melo in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Fafe are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market

Talks stall between Fafe and Eduardo Melo

“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.

Transfer targets

Fafe ask about Issiar Dramé

A loan enquiry to Estrela da Amadora: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
