The Felgueiras Gazette
Market31 Aug 2026
Léo Teixeira 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 The request is on a desk at Felgueiras, and it is not being withdrawn.

Zinho turns down Felgueiras
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Léo Teixeira was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Felgueiras rebuffed over Samuel Soares
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Benfica have kept their man, and Felgueiras go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match29 Aug 2026
Benfica B take the points off Felgueiras
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Felipe Scheibig 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.

Eduardo Cunha faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Eduardo Cunha after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Francisco França 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.

Somebody else is better right now than Afonso Peixoto
The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.
In brief
- The dugout Jonatan Lucca does not fit this one
- Squad A season on the outside for Nor Maviram
