Match

10 matches without a win for Lusitano Évora

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Lusitano Évora are no longer polite ones.

Match

Lusitano Évora sink to position 10

2 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

A hiding for Lusitano Évora

Beaten 0‑4 by Caldas, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

A falling-out at Lusitano Évora

Tiago André and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Duarte Maneta gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Halfway: Lusitano Évora sit in position 10

2 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Lusitano Évora

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Lusitano Évora are still strangers to each other

20 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Eduardo Sousa answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑4, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Marco Ribeiro keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Lusitano Évora may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Lusitano Évora count the cost of losing Daniel Valdelamar

39 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Carlos Rosel signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Carlos Rosel and Lusitano Évora agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Lusitano Évora

Eduardo Felicíssimo 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.

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.

Market

Andre Borges steps up from the Lusitano Évora academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andre Borges 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.

Market

One of our own: Rodrigo Gomes joins the Lusitano Évora first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rodrigo Gomes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Leonardo Pereira

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

Eskimó asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
