Market

Moreirense come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Juventude did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

Borges signs for Boa while still at Juventude

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Borges has agreed terms with Boa for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Gabriel Taliari 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 Juventude this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Leixões expected to open talks for Gabriel Taliari

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

Squad

Jandrei 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.

The dugout

Nathan Santos 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.

Market

Juventude promote Gato from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gato 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.

Market

José Rangel steps up from the Juventude academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. José Rangel has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match

Vasco da Gama take the points off Juventude

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

In brief

  • Squad No place for Gustavo in the new shape
  • Squad Too much change too quickly at Juventude
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
