Squad

Too much change too quickly at Sousa

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Market

Talks stall between Sousa and Hebert Cristian

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

Hebert Cristian loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Hebert Cristian. Sousa will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Match

The cup run ends for Sousa

0‑2 against Atlético Goianiense, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings

Natalício runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets

Fábio Henrique due for a Sousa medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Tempers go at Sousa

Hebert Cristian 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.

Match

Sousa find a way past Ferroviário

Ferroviário made Sousa work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Davi Santos signs for Sousa to fix the gap everybody could see

There is a particular relief in a club addressing the thing its own crowd has been shouting about. Davi Santos arrives for exactly that job, and now he has to do it.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Antônio Braga kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Squad

Davi Santos needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Sousa know which stage they are at.

Looking ahead

Sousa take on the side everybody is chasing

Santa Cruz arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.
