Wellington Carvalho 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 ABC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at ABC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Wallyson 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.

João Pedro 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.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Esquerdinha gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Esquerdinha is on it.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

A door opens for Tartá

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market16 Nov 2026

Darlan placed on the list

ABC have made Darlan available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

A falling-out at ABC

Wallyson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market9 Nov 2026

ABC promote Victor Xavier from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Victor Xavier has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Dudu Mandai 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

ABC are still strangers to each other

7 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Dudu Mandai's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Darlan

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