André hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Paysandu can pretend not to have heard.

Railan says Paysandu 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.

Gabriel Mesquita signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gabriel Mesquita commits to Paysandu for another 4 years.

Yeferson Quintana knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Paysandu, and both men came out saying it was fine.
