Words exchanged at Figueirense
Vinicius Barreta 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.

The step up is real for Ivis Davis
At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

The decline has begun for Bruno Paulo
Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 36 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Figueirense is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

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

Vinícius Tavares steps up from the Figueirense academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Vinícius Tavares has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

A long bet from Figueirense on Jordan Ferrín
He is 19, and nobody at Figueirense signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Fabrício knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Fabrício trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Breno has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Figueirense 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.

Diego Esser 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.
