Market

Gil Martins asks to leave Portimonense

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Danilo Quaranta 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 Portimonense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Peter Lainer out for 30 days

The medical room confirms 30 days on the sidelines for Peter Lainer, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

Bruno Aubry hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Portimonense can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Davide Franzini says Portimonense went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Carlinhos 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 Portimonense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

No end in sight to Portimonense's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Portimonense has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Bruno Aubry hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Portimonense can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Lagartinho keeps Portimonense in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Bruno Aubry runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Carlinhos 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 Portimonense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

One of those days for Niclas Anspach

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.77, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Portimonense count the cost of losing Peter Lainer

90 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The team sheet said everything about Marlon Júnior

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Marlon Júnior.

Match

Niclas Anspach rescues a point for Portimonense

It needed Niclas Anspach to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Rio Ave, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
