The Santa Clara Sentinel

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Gabriel Batista

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Bruma says Santa Clara went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Santa Clara

Gabriel Batista 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.

Match

Santa Clara come up short against Benfica

Benfica left with the points after a 3‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Home is on Pharrell Brown's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Santa Clara are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Player ratings

Henrique Pereira in the eights

A performance of 8.67 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Tiago Mamede

Marked 8.54 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

One of those days for Brenner

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.47, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jader

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The FC Lorient Herald

21 May 2029
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Arthur Avom Ebong 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 FC Lorient this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Federico Ragnoli Galli

“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.

Squad

Yvon Mvogo 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 FC Lorient, and both men came out saying it was fine.
