Transfer targets

Rui Vieira due for a Lusitano Évora medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Words exchanged at Lusitano Évora

Marco Antônio 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.

Squad

Gustavo Vicente is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Francisco Araujo steps up from the Lusitano Évora academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Francisco Araujo 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.

Lusitano Évora promote Jose Silva from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jose Silva 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.

Squad

19 new faces, and Lusitano Évora are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

No place for Gabriel Kazu in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Lusitano Évora are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Lusitano Évora

Something was said to Fran Delgado and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

No hiding place for Gustavo Vicente

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

In brief
