Boardroom3 Apr 2028

Leixões run out of patience with Luis Marques

The end came on a Tuesday, as these things usually do: a short meeting, a shorter statement, and Luis Marques clearing his office by noon. Football’s cruellest ritual, performed to schedule.

Morufdeen Moshood asks to leave Leixões

“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.

Player ratings3 Apr 2028

Julián Pérez scores twice — 7.73

Two goals and a mark of 7.73 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Boardroom3 Apr 2028

Leonardo Almeida steps up at Leixões for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Mateus Luiz: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Leixões have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Kevin Chamorro 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 Leixões this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Apr 2028

Leixões see off Leiria

Three points for Leixões, 3‑2 the final word against Leiria in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Words at Leixões training over how hard people work

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

Leixões supporters have found a favourite in Julián Pérez

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Julián Pérez has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market14 Jun 2027

José Bica 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 Leixões can pretend not to have heard.

Leixões turn down AVS for José Bica

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

Market14 Jun 2027

Only the photograph left for Matheus Costa

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Matheus Costa will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Leixões the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market14 Jun 2027

Matheus Costa 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.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Mateus Luiz at Leixões

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mateus Luiz is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Werton 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 Leixões this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
