The withdrawal of Desportivo das Aves SAD from the Portuguese Championship this Wednesday represented a “bucket of cold water” for the Northerners’ structure and left 23 players discouraged and without a club.
“I played in Perafita and worked in a supermarket. I entered this project and everything went downhill. This morning we knew what the purpose of Aves SAD was. It was bad to see the players crying and others bowing their heads. Basically, it was a dream given and a Dream withdrawn ”, shared the defender and captain Tuta a Lusa.
The Avenses will lose their participation in the Serie B of the third step, after not having been able to negotiate with Perafita until Tuesday to use the facilities of the Matosinhos club, the same day that the registration period for the Portuguese Championship ends and the structure led by Chinese Wei Zhao has failed to register any footballers.
“Half a dozen players were promised a professional contract and all the necessary conditions to aspire to a peaceful championship. They were very generous salaries, more game prizes, but they did not appear,” lamented the 23-year-old, with training shared between Leixões. , Senhora da Hora, Perafita and Lavrense.
Aves SAD was authorized to use the Perafita facilities to start preseason work on September 11 with two dozen players, under the direction of Paulo Gentil, former coach of the Matosinhense club, at a time when Tuta never thought “about this end “because of the” dimension “of a club that was in the league.
“Two weeks ago I was training in Perafita and they told us that the technical team and the administration itself needed players to compete. Then a proposal came up to the players and the [acionista] Estrela Costa even appeared on the first day of training to introduce SAD to the squad. After that, I never saw her again, ”he said.
Unable to register players due to old debts, the Santo Tirso municipality emblem was denied the request to postpone the debut game at the CoP and was unable to visit the Cuna on Sunday, which could mean an administrative defeat and the deduction of points, before Visita Felgueiras 1932 for the first round of the Portuguese Cup.
I think we couldn’t keep up with the quality, but with dedication and ambition we were giving a talk and it wouldn’t be easy for Cradle, one of the climbing candidates. We were prepared on a physical and psychological level, but the higher bodies did not want to advance. When that is the case, you just have to respect their decisions, ”he emphasized.
Diogo Alexandre Soares Oliveira, known as Tuta in football, “will organize ideas” and “will try not to stop”, like Luan Gabriel, another fired colleague, who spent a period of observation in the Bulgarians of Lokomotiv Plovdiv and had a “Contract forwarded” when he learned of the interest of Aves SAD from the employer.
“We had the guarantee of paying everything correctly. The president himself assured the squad that he would not give up the championship and the Portuguese Cup. It is complicated, because he was close to joining a club that played the Europa League and I ended up coming to Portugal, trusting “in his work. It worked, “the Brazilian winger told Lusa.
Luan Gabriel, 20, belongs to the Esporte Clube Vitória squad and lived in a guest house in Leça da Palmeira with five other foreign players, until he was “taken by surprise” this morning with a “very direct communication” from the investor Wei Zhao together the staff and technical team, under the gaze of director Francisco Santos.
“When I got here we were very confident and we were all very motivated. We even wanted to play the first challenge, but they understood that we were not prepared. Until yesterday [terça-feira] Everything was calm, but today the president told us that there would be no more birds due to the processes and the economic situation, ”he recalled.
Aves SAD failed in July the licensing requirements in the professional tests of 2020/21 with the League of clubs and dismissed the appeal before the Council of Justice of the Portuguese Football Federation, after a season marked by unpaid wages, unilateral dismissals and the descent on the grass to the II League.
The structure, which Lusa tried unsuccessfully to contact, has been accompanied by the provisional judicial administrator António Dias Seabra and is in charge of a Special Revitalization Process (PER), which allocates debts of 17.1 million euros to 110 creditors.
