From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Nautico sink to position 10

4 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

No end in sight to Nautico's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Nautico has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Nautico

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Words at Nautico training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arnaldo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Criciuma take the points off Nautico

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Júnior Todinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

6 matches without a win for Nautico

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Nautico are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Nautico

Iacovelli 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.

Squad

Arnaldo 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.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Nautico

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Player ratings

Reginaldo Lopes was the difference for Nautico

Marked 7.36. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Ramon's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Júnior Todinho

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Nautico and Paysandu cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Paysandu came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad

Paulo Sérgio knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Paulo Sérgio trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Match

No end in sight to Nautico's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Nautico has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Nautico

Muriel 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.

Squad

Arnaldo 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Júnior Todinho

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Nautico pick somebody else ahead of Paulo Sérgio

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Reginaldo Lopes

A mark of 7.20, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
