The Bragantino Courier

Juninho Capixaba stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Juninho Capixaba and Bragantino agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Gustavo Marques in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bragantino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager makes an example of Tiago Volpi
“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.

Eric Ramires in the eights
A performance of 8.33 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Bragantino hit back inside 2 minutes
Atlético Mineiro held the lead for 2 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Bragantino answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Eduardo is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Bragantino has been clear about where Eduardo stands, which is more than many ever get.

Nobody at Bragantino has picked up the phone to Pedro Henrique
36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The manager has not finished forgetting Tiago Volpi'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.

The chances came and went for Isidro Pitta
9 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.
In brief
- Match Bragantino and Atlético Mineiro take a point apiece
- Player ratings Fernando runs at them all day
- Player ratings An afternoon Vinicinho will want back
