The São João de Ver Herald
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Flávio Gonçalves, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.93
A mark of 7.93 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

São João de Ver count the cost of losing Hugo Firmino
43 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Marco Antônio stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Marco Antônio and São João de Ver agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A falling-out at São João de Ver
Marco Antônio and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match22 Aug 2026
Flávio Gonçalves’s goal not enough for São João de Ver
Flávio Gonçalves scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Paredes, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Door shut on Rodrigo Moura
São João de Ver asked and Chaves said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Still no ink between São João de Ver and Bruno Miguel
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at São João de Ver, another week without a signature from Bruno Miguel.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Carlos Costa: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

A row about effort at São João de Ver
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Issiar Dramé was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
In brief
