Squad

A fracture rules Jefferson Renan out for 97 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Confiança will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Words exchanged at Confiança

Lucas Perdomo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lucas Perdomo

“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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

151 days out for Leonardo after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Confiança will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

9 saves: João Fernandes was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Tempers go at Confiança

Lynneeker 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.

Player ratings

Lucas Perdomo ran the middle of the pitch — 6.66

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 13 combined actions and a mark of 6.66, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

The dugout

No hiding place for Juninho

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Juninho, and the manager let it.

Match

A bad afternoon for Confiança against Londrina

0‑1 to Londrina, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The formation has left Marcel Scalese behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Confiança will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Market

Still no ink between Confiança and Jefferson Renan

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Confiança, another week without a signature from Jefferson Renan.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Rafael Cavalcante to a room that had heard them before.
