F.C. Alverca

We have had some...

I think there was a team that could not play their match and they had to go play at Alverca.

I want to be very careful.

I can't remember.

Do you remember the team that had to move their match to Alverca recently? There's been some issues with the pitch in Meritimo as well when we talk about the first division.

which is kind of surprising because obviously Meritimo is an incredible weather island.

They seem to have had some issues, but that's been the talk of the league.

Anyway, I can't remember who moved the match to Alverca.

So we'll see.

We moved to Saturday and we had Nacional Alverca in Madeira.

Alverca goes on the road and wins 3-1 here.

Big win for them because they start a little bit slow.

Camarao with two goals, Chisumba with one and Nacional get a late consolation goal from Machoi.

So, yeah, a very turbulent beginning of the season for them.

Absolutely.

And for Alverca, you know, again, it's a new team like last year, new manager.

We just can't sell him, ever.

And France has gone to Alverca.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

And then Estrela comes back with two goals only for Famalikon to tie in the 80th.

And then Alverca hosting Braga.

Braga get a much-needed 2-1 victory.

Two goals from Pau Victor in this one.

second half that's that's

a big win yeah yeah yeah you still feel they're trying to they're trying to get their bearings here they haven't really played many matches

yeah they've had an awkward start to the season yeah some things beyond their control but 68 possession for braga 2.54 goals expected goals so uh they're you know they achieved what they should have if you buy into the analytics and whatnot 16 total shots six of them on goal So not an easy place to play either at Alverca.

So this is a really good result, I think, for Braga moving forward.

While Zeru Sanusi is injured yet again and Felix Agu is injured yet again.

So do we even see a maiden call-up for Isaac James or Alverca? Do we see a player like Gobi Nagoke get called up as backup? Well, I know IMHU will start for sure.

I still see no reason why a starting front three and midfield three will not start.

Wilfred Ndidi is back from injury, but he should be fine to captain the squad.

So Essay has gone back on loan to Millwall.

And then after deadline day in the UK, Mathias Franca has gone to FC Alverca in Portugal.

This is also where Mophie Gemmeday went earlier in the summer.

And Jez Raksaki has gone to Kassim Paza on loan.

Cool story.

And then he was also at Alverca while on loan from Santa Clara.

So just, yeah, like I said, just kind of won the lottery on those home matches.

Their away matches, the first three, you know, they're going to Lillestrom in Norway, Lech in Poland, Frank Veros in Hungary, however you pronounce that.
