From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Nautico sink to position 10

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

Squad

Reginaldo Lopes loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Reginaldo Lopes. Nautico will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Squad

Mateus Silva 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 Nautico, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Mateus Silva says Nautico 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Felipe Redaelli

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Oluwasegun Otusanya 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 Nautico, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Vinícius: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Nautico have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Mateus Silva gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Felipe Saraiva 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 Nautico, and both men came out saying it was fine.

In brief

  • Squad The manager comes out for Arnaldo

Market

Nautico turn down Maccabi Netanya for Dieguinho

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Arnaldo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

7 matches without a win for Nautico

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Nautico are no longer polite ones.

Match

A bad afternoon for Nautico against America Mineiro

0-1 to America Mineiro, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Paulo Sérgio gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Rony: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Nautico have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

Parana take the points off Nautico

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

Squad

Vinícius gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief

  • The terraces The spotlight tightens on Muriel
  • Squad Mateus Silva has company in his position
  • Squad Felipe Saraiva unhappy with how he is being used
  • Market The window shut and Wanderson is still in the building

Squad

27 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match

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

6 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

Muriel keeps Nautico in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Reginaldo Lopes out for 16 days

The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for Reginaldo Lopes, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
