Words exchanged at Maritimo
Adrián Butzke and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Real improvement from Marcelo Bourscheidt at Maritimo
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Marcelo Bourscheidt is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Raphael Guzzo 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.
Match26 Sep 2026
Vizela take the points off Maritimo
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Home is on Enrique Peña Zauner's mind
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Maritimo are dealing with a man who wants a different country.
Match26 Sep 2026
After 4 games, Maritimo finally taste it again
The first defeat in 4 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Vizela; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Lucas Reis left the room before anybody could ask which.

The manager has not finished forgetting Gábor Szalai'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.

Alfonso Pastor 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.
In brief
- The dugout No place in the plan for Martim Tavares
- Market Maritimo put Igor Julião up for sale
- Player ratings Bryan Limbombe was unplayable
