Gui Lobo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around CRB they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Luiz Phellype 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 CRB this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Enzo 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.

Dadá Belmonte 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.

The dugout12 Mar 2029

David Braw has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at CRB 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.

Luiz Phellype linked with a move away

The name of Luiz Phellype keeps appearing in other people's back pages. CRB say nothing, which says plenty.

Guilherme Pato 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 Guilherme Pato trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Valentín Baygorria still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at CRB would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

The penny has dropped for Emiliano Millamán

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at CRB the difference is visible from the back of the stand.

A falling-out at CRB

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

Squad5 Mar 2029

Valentín Baygorria in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Squad5 Mar 2029

12 new faces, and CRB are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Training ground row involving Valentín Baygorria

Tempers went at CRB this week. Nothing a hard session and a quiet word cannot repair, though the story got out all the same.

Market5 Mar 2029

Talks stall between CRB and Juan Schnell

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout5 Mar 2029

Guilherme Pato 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 Guilherme Pato is on it.
