Danilo Barcelos 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 Ponte Preta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Ponte Preta
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sergio Palacios was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Ponte Preta host CSA
Next up at home: CSA, who go into it in position 7. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.
