Squad

Denis Zárate 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. Denis Zárate has, at Anápolis, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Words exchanged at Anápolis

Lucas Rocha and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Léo 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

Denis Zárate signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Denis Zárate and Anápolis agree another 4 years.

Market

Anápolis buy the years ahead of Denis Zárate

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

The Isack talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Anápolis know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Anápolis lose Kike Saverio

30 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Lucas Rocha 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 Anápolis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Cristobal Chadwick

“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.

Squad

Words at Anápolis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Cipriano 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.

The dugout

Jonathan gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jonathan is on it.

Squad

Cristobal Chadwick wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Anápolis will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Market

Vaprus come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Anápolis did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Anápolis

João Victor 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.

Market

Anápolis promote Arthur Nogueira from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Arthur Nogueira has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Anápolis are still strangers to each other

12 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Gabriel Cipriano 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.

The dugout

Rafael Tavares gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Rafael Tavares is on it.
