Squad

Gabriel Veron 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 Felgueiras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Felgueiras

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

The dugout

Michel Costa has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Felgueiras will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match

Felgueiras tear Sporting CP B apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Sporting CP B, and it could have been more.

Squad

A day Gabriel Veron will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match

Felgueiras end the wait against Sporting CP B

It had gone 9 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Squad

Gabriel Veron 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 Felgueiras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Fabricio arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Fabricio has, at Felgueiras, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Gabriel Veron at his very best

Marked 9.44. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Felgueiras.

Squad

Léo Teixeira 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.

Player ratings

Léo Teixeira was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

Felgueiras settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Sporting CP B spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Squad

Rómulo Otero breaks a bone — 64 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 64 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Rafael Juwer: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Criciuma have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

Fabricio signs for Sampaio Correa while still at Criciuma

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

Market

Pedro is on his way

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

Squad

A falling-out at Criciuma

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

Squad

Kauã is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

In brief

  • Squad Criciuma are still strangers to each other
  • The dugout Titi knocks on the manager’s door
  • The dugout César Martins has been promised minutes
  • The dugout The manager plants his flag on Jean Irmer
