The step up is real for José Neto
At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Weverson has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Gil Vicente can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

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

Camilo Mayada brings the grey hairs Gil Vicente lacked
At 35, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.
