Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Khawhan

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

The dugout

Tito says Boavista 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.

Market

Felipe Santos is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Boavista is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at Boavista

Iago Santos 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.

Transfer targets

Coritiba tell Boavista: Fabinho is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

Daniel Aguilar 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

A row about effort at Boavista

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

Transfer targets

A loan move for Tiago is in the works

Boavista have made the call to Grêmio. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Goiatuba expected to open talks for André

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Boavista will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

Iago Santos 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 Boavista this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Boavista

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

Squad

Iago Santos has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Boavista know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Squad

Lucas Silva named player of the month

The award goes to Lucas Silva, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lucas Maticoli

“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.

The dugout

Marcus Carioca is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout

When it matters, Tito plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

The Crystopher question follows Boavista around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Crystopher’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

The shop window has Khawhan in it

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

In brief
