From our football correspondent Steady

Market6 Mar 2028

Rodrigo Pinheiro raises the bar for Famalicao

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

Squad6 Mar 2028

Lazar Carević 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 Famalicao this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Mathis Jangeal is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Mathias De Amorim 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.

Squad6 Mar 2028

The manager makes an example of Joseph Mangondo

“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.

Loan watch6 Mar 2028

Lamine Bèye wants to come home

“I did not go to Sporting CP to sit and watch. I want to come back to Famalicao and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 29 matches say the rest.

The Casa Pia Herald

6 Sep 2027
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad6 Sep 2027

Liam van Nistelrooij keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Casa Pia may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Gonçalo Sousa 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.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Casa Pia

Diego Rico 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.

Squad6 Sep 2027

The manager makes an example of David Sousa

“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.

Match4 Sep 2027

Casa Pia see off Arouca

Three points for Casa Pia, 1‑0 the final word against Arouca in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

A masterclass from Jérémy Livolant

Marked 8.22 — 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.

Market6 Sep 2027

João Goulart is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Casa Pia has been clear about where João Goulart stands, which is more than many ever get.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

David Sousa shuts the door

Defensive actions: 14, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market6 Sep 2027

Henrique Araújo linked with a move away

The name of Henrique Araújo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Casa Pia say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad8 Feb 2027

Words at Casa Pia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jérémy Livolant 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Casa Pia

Sebastián Pérez 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Jérémy Livolant 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.

Squad8 Feb 2027

When it matters, Patrick Sequeira 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.

Match6 Feb 2027

Casa Pia and Vitoria Guimaraes take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Jérémy Livolant runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

An afternoon Cassiano will want back

Marked 5.55. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

An afternoon Kélian Nsona will want back

Marked 5.79. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Market8 Feb 2027

Gernot Trauner arrives on loan

Casa Pia have taken Gernot Trauner on loan from Tottenham — cover where cover was needed.
