Squad

A one-man rearguard from Phillipe Gabriel

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

4 matches without a win for Vasco da Gama

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Vasco da Gama are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Cauan Barros 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 Vasco da Gama this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Paulo Henrique falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Home is on Yu Hirakawa's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Vasco da Gama are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Loan watch

Nuno Moreira wants to come home

“I did not go to Flamengo to sit and watch. I want to come back to Vasco da Gama and fight for my place.” 11 appearances in 37 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Andrés Gómez was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.20. 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.

Match

Vasco da Gama and Bragantino take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Benjamín Borowik

A mark of 5.51 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Boardroom

Dedé signs for Vasco da Gama while still at São Paulo

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Dedé has agreed terms with Vasco da Gama for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Tempers go at São Paulo

Carlos de Pena 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.

Squad

Words at São Paulo training over how hard people work

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

Squad

A fracture rules Marcelo Ajul out for 87 days

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

Squad

Cauan Barros signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Cauan Barros and Vasco da Gama agree another 5 years.

Squad

Paulo Henrique 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 Vasco da Gama this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
