The Rio Ave Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom1 Feb 2027

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Rio Ave

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Cezary Miszta 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 Rio Ave this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match30 Jan 2027

Rio Ave come up short against Estoril Praia

Estoril Praia left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad1 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Marios Vrousai

“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.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

One of those days for Rafael Lobato

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.66, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

Nobody could get near Jalen Blesa

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market1 Feb 2027

Pacos de Ferreira expected to open talks for Kevin Chamorro

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Rio Ave will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

The terraces1 Feb 2027

The spotlight tightens on Cezary Miszta

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Tamble Monteiro has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Tamble Monteiro keeps the shirt for now, at Rio Ave's convenience rather than his own.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match23 Jan 2027

Sporting CP cannot stop winning

10 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Geovany Quenda runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market25 Jan 2027

Sporting CP turn down Ajax for Luis Suárez

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

Squad25 Jan 2027

At 19, Geovany Quenda is already the best thing here

An average of 7.71 in a first team he is several years too young for. Sporting CP have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Francisco Trincão

14 goals and a season average of 7.86 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

A defender's afternoon for Morten Hjulmand

Defensive actions: 25. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Gonçalo Inácio shuts the door

Defensive actions: 25, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

A defender's afternoon for Ousmane Diomande

Defensive actions: 25. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Sporting CP

Pote 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Pote 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 Sporting CP this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Issa Doumbia

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

A masterclass from Francisco Trincão

Marked 9.61 — 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.

Match10 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Sporting CP against Estoril Praia

1‑2 to Estoril Praia, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Geny in the eights

A performance of 8.72 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

A defender's afternoon for Morten Hjulmand

Defensive actions: 19. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Boardroom12 Oct 2026

Doors closed at Sporting CP

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Telmo Arcanjo

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

Squad12 Oct 2026

Defences have started doubling up on Francisco Trincão

4 goals and a season average of 7.24 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.
