3 academy players handed senior numbers at Oliveirense
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Tempers go at Oliveirense
Kazuya Onohara 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.

Oliveirense promote Simao Santos from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Simao Santos 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.

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

No investment in the facilities at Oliveirense
Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.

No goals between Oliveirense and Porto B
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Porto B will be the happier side with the point.

Bruno Pinto left out for tactical reasons at Oliveirense
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
In brief
- Squad Bruno Pinto still has not settled
- Player ratings Alípio runs at them all day
- Market Oliveirense put Nuno Rafael up for sale
