Squad6 Mar 2045

A knee injury of the worst kind for Manuel Gomes

124 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Alverca lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad6 Mar 2045

A one-man rearguard from Tomasz Lewandowski

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad6 Mar 2045

12 seasons of Oguzhan Ozcan

50 appearances across 12 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Alverca know what they have.

Match7 Jan 2045

Samy Merheg leads the rout of Maritimo

7‑0, and Samy Merheg took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Alverca tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings9 Jan 2045

Samy Merheg scores twice — 9.53

Two goals and a mark of 9.53 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings9 Jan 2045

A brace, and Mathis Jangeal takes the afternoon — 8.26

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mathis Jangeal provided it, and the 8.26 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

A brace, and Joseph Robinson takes the afternoon — 8.27

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Joseph Robinson provided it, and the 8.27 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

A one-man rearguard from Tomasz Lewandowski

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings9 Jan 2045

Simao Rodrigues, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Alexandre Marques says Alverca went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad9 Jan 2045

Bastien Meupiyou signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Bastien Meupiyou commits to Alverca for another 2 years.

Bastien Meupiyou 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 Alverca this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
