Match11 Mar 2030

Paredes are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 33 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad11 Mar 2030

A falling-out at Paredes

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

Squad11 Mar 2030

Paredes lose Afonso Silva

32 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad11 Mar 2030

Edin Ajdinović falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad11 Mar 2030

Time is catching up with Marvyn Belliard

Everybody at Paredes saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 37 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

The dugout11 Mar 2030

Benoit Olivier has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Paredes will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Daniel Pacheco damages knee ligaments — 14 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market14 Aug 2028

Hiago has said yes to Farense

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Paredes have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Squad14 Aug 2028

6 saves: Fábio Matos was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The dugout14 Aug 2028

Pedro Araújo keeps the receipts

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

Squad14 Aug 2028

Tempers go at Paredes

Miguel Moreno 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.

Transfer targets14 Aug 2028

Paredes baulk at the price for Óscar Rivas

Vitoria Guimaraes wanted more than $200.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Boardroom14 Aug 2028

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Paredes

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.

Transfer targets14 Aug 2028

Paredes rebuffed over Fernando Silva

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Vitoria Guimaraes have kept their man, and Paredes go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match12 Aug 2028

Fabio Blanco’s goal not enough for Paredes

Fabio Blanco scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Braga B, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.
