Squad

Juan Soriano breaks a bone — 116 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 116 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Maga puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Académico de Viseu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Ibrahima Ba

Académico de Viseu asked and Sporting CP said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

A bad afternoon for Académico de Viseu against Oliveirense

1‑2 to Oliveirense, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Talks stall between Académico de Viseu and Ricardo Alves

“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.

The dugout

Sergio Ferreira: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

Rúben Pereira gets it from the manager

Squad

Squad

Cristian Ferreira scores his first for Académico de Viseu

The one goal every signing is asked about until it comes. It has come, and a press-conference question has been retired.

In brief
