Squad

A falling-out at Goiânia

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

Squad

Real improvement from Risadinha at Goiânia

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Risadinha is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

The dugout

No hiding place for Igor Guimarães

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Igor Guimarães, and the manager let it.

Squad

Words at Goiânia training over how hard people work

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

Squad

Goiânia are still strangers to each other

7 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.

The dugout

Thiago Amaral 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 Thiago Amaral is on it.

In brief

Squad

Cristiano Soares 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 Goiânia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tubarão

“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.

Loan watch

Luiz Fernandes wants to come home

“I did not go to Guarani to sit and watch. I want to come back to Goiânia and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

The dugout

Igor Guimarães asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Cristiano Soares linked with a move away

The name of Cristiano Soares keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Goiânia say nothing, which says plenty.

Match

Continental football is in reach for Goiânia

60 points from position 5. The title is somebody else’s business and the drop is somebody else’s problem; what is left is the argument about passports.
