Marked for Miracle Adewole

The Thun Post

4 Sep 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Thun turn down Grasshopper for Cédric Brunner

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

Market

Chirri has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Thun they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Mattias Käit 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 Thun this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Grasshopper take the points off Thun

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Fabio Fehr 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.

Player ratings

Nils Reichmuth in the eights

A performance of 8.80 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market

A long bet from Thun on Miracle Adewole

He is 20, and nobody at Thun signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Miracle Adewole stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Miracle Adewole and Thun agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Mathías Tomás

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The Arouca Chronicle

21 Feb 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Saulo Decarli says Arouca 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.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Mateo Flores

Defensive actions: 32. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Taichi Fukui

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 30 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Taichi Fukui 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 Arouca this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

One of those days for Javi Sánchez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.49, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Arouca get the job done against Portimonense

A 1‑0 win over Portimonense, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

One of those days for Pablo Gozálbez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.38, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Javi Sánchez is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.23 with 10 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

No hiding place for Tiago Esgaio

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tiago Esgaio, and the manager let it.
