Podcast appearances and mentions of rio ave

Esta semana, falamos sobre o Porto em modo resultadista, depois de mais uma vitória pela margem mínima frente ao Rio Ave, e do complicado calendário que espera os Dragões em Março; abordamos a vitória tranquila do Benfica sobre o lanterna vermelha AVS e do futuro próximo das Águias; a bela exibição do Sporting em Moreira de Cónegos, coroada com 3 golos sem resposta e com o contributo do reforço Luis Guilherme; e analisamos o melhor jogo da jornada: o excitante derbi Minhoto entre Braga e Guimarães, que terminou com uma vitória Braguista por 3-2. Fechamos com o regresso de Vítor Pereira à Premier League: o Português foi contratado pelo Nottingham Forest e é o 4ª treinador dos Tricky Trees esta época. Será que vai safar o Forest da descida? Para fora de jogo, recomendamos os filmes Prometeus e I Swear, e a série How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. Bons jogos e bons filmes!

On this week's podcast...We start off by questioning whether Benfica's season is over in January after the exit from the Portuguese Cup. We discuss the Porto game, and look ahead to Juventus and Rio Ave

For the first time, channels covering each club in the Marinakis football group have come together to discuss the football group. Ari from  @Thrylos7intl  Matt Davies from  @Forest-Focus  and Joao Meneses from Reis Do Ave(https://reisdoave.blogspot.com/) sit together to look back on each club's season and how the group is working on a whole. They also address the news of Global Director Edu Gaspar under pressure by Olympiacos.

O convidado do nonagésimo primeiro episódio do Folha Seca é João Amaral, head of scouting do FC Barcelona e ex-director-técnico do Rio Ave. Ao longo da conversa, João detalha a sua evolução desde a formação do Benfica até à elite europeia, analisando como a bagagem técnica e a experiência no mundo do agenciamento de jogadores potenciaram a sua leitura de jogo e capacidade negocial, respectivamente. O convidado explica a importância vital do contacto humano e da validação pessoal no processo de recrutamento de um jogador, revelando como identifica 'red flags' no comportamento do atleta ou da sua 'entourage'. Entre vários temas, João aborda ainda a complexidade da gestão em redes de multi-clubes (os chamados 'MCOs', multi-club ownerships), a estratégia de mercado do FC Barcelona face à sua reengenharia financeira actual, o potencial do mercado africano, o uso de dados no processo de scouting e as competências essenciais para liderar a prospecção de um colosso do futebol mundial como o Barça.

Olá a todos! O Benfica tropeçou em Braga, onde não foi além de um empate a duas bolas que o deixa a dez pontos do FC Porto e a cinco do Sporting. Os Leões ganharam por 4-0 ao Rio Ave e os Dragões impuseram-se por 2-0 ao AFS. Analisei os três jogos neste Futebol de Verdade. E no final ainda destaquei os recordes da semana, com o apoio da GoalPoint. O programa, que esta semana pôde ser isto em direto por todos, é aqui exclusivo dos subscritores Premium no Substack.

Depois de uma curta pausa natalícia, o 5 para 4 está de volta para um episódio de rescaldo da última jornada da Liga Placard onde se destacaram, por motivos diferentes, dois leões. O de Alvalade continua em grande forma, goleando o Rio Ave em casa e continuando à espera de um deslize do Benfica. Já o de Porto Salvo, depois de um arranque em grande, segue agora com sete jogos sem ganhar...

SC Braga 2 - SL Benfica 2; Sporting CP 4 - Rio Ave 0

Augusto Inácio considera que o Sporting dominou, podia ter goleado ainda mais, mostra forte confiança e distanciou-se do Benfica. Enquanto o Rio Ave falhou na estratégia e uso dos melhores jogadores.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Foi a última jornada antes do Natal e Benfica e Sporting não desiludiram nas prendas: 2-10 ao Rio Ave e 1-8 ao SC Braga, respetivamente. Goleadas que têm histórias por trás, assim como toda esta ronda da Liga Placard. Olhamos ainda para a II Divisão, que acaba a I Fase, para a Taça de Portugal e para a seleção antes do Euro.

Semana dura para quem gosta de ver todos os jogos da Liga Placard. Sábado às 20h teve direito a seis jogos do campeonato à mesma hora e de lá saíram várias situações para discutir neste novo episódio. Do Benfica imbatível à crise de confiança do SC Braga, passando pelo super Rio Ave e pelo último Caxinas. Muito para falar, sem esquecer também do Mundial Feminino, onde Portugal seguiu em frente só com vitórias.

We look into the roller coaster ride of Edu Gaspar 5 month tenure at Nottingham Forest! To Buy Wolfie A Coffee! Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for an in-depth exploration of Edu Gaspar's tenure as Global Head of Football at Nottingham Forest, a role he took on in July 2025 to oversee the Marinakis group's football operations across clubs like Olympiacos and Rio Ave. Wolfie examines the highs and lows of Edu's time with the Reds, from strategic signings and squad building efforts that have shown promise in the Premier League to the controversies that have marked his early months. Drawing on his experience as Arsenal's former sporting director, Edu's impact is dissected with a balanced view of the positives that could elevate Forest's multi-club model. Delving into the drama, Wolfie covers the explosive bust-up with former manager Nuno Espírito Santo, which reportedly contributed to Nuno's sacking in August 2025 and highlighted tensions within the club's hierarchy. Has Edu's stint been a resounding success, positioning him as a genius in football management, or have the setbacks exposed him as overhyped? Wolfie weighs the evidence, analysing key decisions, fan reactions, and long-term implications for Nottingham Forest's stability and ambitions. What's your take on Edu Gaspar—genius or fraud?

Hello Rank Squad! After 70 years domestically, or 54 years across the board, Newcastle United finally got their hands on silverware again this weekend, beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final to end one of the longest trophy droughts in English football, and doing it in some style. Big Danny Burn completed his incredible redemption arc and Alexander Isak got the match-winner as a lifetime of black and white suffering ended at English football's stately home.We discuss the joy of the celebrations and what Newcastle need to do next to use this as a springboard for future success, before turning our attention to other clubs in with a shot at ending their own barren spells this season. We discuss most of the teams left in the FA Cup, as well as Tottenham Hotspur in our segment on the Premier League clubs, before turning our attention to Europe - where Jack points out opportunities for Bologna, Stuttgart and Fiorentina in particular, as well as long shots for Stade Reims, Go Ahead Eagles and Rio Ave. It's Ranks!   And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Podcast Intro: The Portugal Corner - Episode 177 - The Usual SuspectsWelcome to The Portugal Corner! The podcast where we dive into all things Portuguese soccer—the good, the bad, and the funny!It's St. Patrick's Day, and we're celebrating with some GuinnessIn a move that caught many by surprise, Chelsea has swooped in to secure two of Portugal's brightest young stars—Quenda and Dario Essugo. The Blues locked in deals worth €50M and €20M, respectively, on delayed loans. With Chelsea's track record of acquiring young talent, we discuss what the future holds for these rising midfielders and whether this move will help or hinder their development.Portugal's squad for the Nations League playoffs is out, and we analyze Roberto Martínez's selections. Is the midfield trio of Vitinha, João Neves, and Bruno Fernandes the right call? Will these choices propel the team to victory, or do we see cracks in the foundation?Sporting CP continues their dominant form, storming past Famalicão with a convincing 3-1 victory. The match saw Fresneda break the deadlock after a stunning run from "Thicc Vic". Famalicão kept things competitive by equalizing through a penalty just before halftime, but Sporting had the last laugh. "Thicc Vic" himself converts from the spot.Returning to domestic action, Benfica faced Rio Ave and started strong with a stunning strike from Orkun Kökçü. However, despite going 2-0 up, two sloppy defensive mistakes—one notably from Tino—allowed Rio Ave back into the match. Fortunately, Aturkoglu stepped up to restore order, securing the much-needed three points.Desperate for stability, Porto reverted to a back-four system, and it paid off with a solid 2-0 victory over AVS. Rising star Rodrigo Mora opened the scoring, bringing energy back into the squad. Fábio Vieira followed up with a thunderous one-timer to double the lead. AVS didn't help their case as Ignacio Rodriguez saw red early in the second half, giving Porto the advantage for the final 45 minutes.Guimarães' European campaign ended in disappointment as Real Betis walked into Portugal and delivered a crushing 4-0 defeat. Even Antony found himself on the scoresheet. However, the team bounced back on the weekend with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Estrela Amadora, with Thomas Handel and Arcanjo providing the goals.Bruno Fernandes continues to prove his worth, delivering a hat-trick (including two penalties) and an assist as Manchester United crushed Real Sociedad 4-1 in the Europa League. He followed it up with a goal against Leicester in a 3-0 weekend win, assisted by Dalot.Jota Silva, shinea for Nottingham Forest, scoring in a vital 4-2 victory over Ipswich. Nuno Espírito Santo's Nottingham Forest locks in third place with this crucial win.PSG survived a Champions League scare, advancing past Liverpool on penalties. Vitinha and Ramos kept their cool from the spot, while Darwin Núñez's miss proved costly.On the domestic front, Nuno Mendes scored his first Ligue 1 goal of the season in Le Classique, helping PSG secure a 3-1 win over Marseille and extend their lead at the top to a staggering 19 points. We took some heat for not nominating Mendes for last week's João Wonder—our bad!Another game, another goal for CR7. Ronaldo netted his 928th career goal as Al-Nassr defeated Al-Kholood .Toronto FC's home opener didn't go as planned, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Chicago Fire.

On this week's podcast...It's been a while, after the fog at the Choupana, and the international break, we are back to recap Pevidem and Feyonord, and look ahead to Rio Ave.

On today's show we look at Rio Ave, the third club owned by Evangelos Marinakis after he bought 80 percent of the Portuguese top flight team with a vow to invest in a small but proud club which saw the start of current Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo's managerial career. We welcome Albert from the Long Ball Futebol Podcast to discuss his visits to watch the team, its history and the early impressions made by the Marinakis regime. We also discuss the form of three players with Forest connections in Omar Richards, Brandon Aguilera and Jonathan Panzo, who all joined this summer from Forest either on loan or permanently.
