Squad

Guilherme 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 Atletico Goianiense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Atletico Goianiense

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marrony was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Matheusinho told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Matheusinho has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Atletico Goianiense.

The dugout

Matheusinho 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.

Loan watch

Thayllon keeps scoring at Paysandu

6 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout

Jean Dias asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Vladimir has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Vladimir has written the date down.

Squad

Guilherme has settled at Atletico Goianiense

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

The dugout

The manager comes out for Kahiser Lenis

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Kahiser Lenis has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

Squad

Fernando Cavalcante out for 28 days

The medical room confirms 28 days on the sidelines for Fernando Cavalcante, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Guilherme 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 Atletico Goianiense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Atletico Goianiense may not be able to give Leandro Vilela what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Leandro Vilela wants continental football; whether Atletico Goianiense can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Words at Atletico Goianiense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marrony 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Rafael Barros

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

The dugout

Marrony 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 Atletico Goianiense, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The shop window has Matheusinho in it

Atletico Goianiense have let the market know Matheusinho can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Loan watch

Thayllon keeps scoring at Paysandu

6 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Questions about Cássio on the training pitch

The standards have slipped, and in a building where everybody watches everybody it has not gone unremarked. This is how a player loses a place before he loses one.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Henrique Pires

36 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Atletico Goianiense lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

A falling-out at Atletico Goianiense

Adriano Mina and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Both of them Kahiser Lenis's — 9.51

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.51, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Cássio gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Cássio has just signed for Atletico Goianiense, and for once the answer mattered.

Match

Atletico Goianiense find a way past Boa

Boa made Atletico Goianiense work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Boardroom

Atletico Goianiense beat the market to Adriano from São Paulo

São Paulo will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Adriano has pre-agreed a move to Atletico Goianiense, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

The dugout

No hiding place for Paulo Vitor

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

Player ratings

Gustavo Coutinho was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.65. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

20 new faces, and Atletico Goianiense are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
