The step up is real for Martín Tejón
At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Adrián Butzke 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 Maritimo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager makes an example of Bryan Limbombe
“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.

13 new faces, and Maritimo are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Talks stall between Maritimo and Noah Madsen
“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.

Sidney Osei has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Maritimo will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Noah Madsen asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The manager makes Gábor Szalai a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Maritimo. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
