Samuel Araujo 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 Amora can pretend not to have heard.

Gonçalo Pinto 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 Amora this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Amora rebuffed over Daniel Azevedo
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Casa Pia have kept their man, and Amora go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
