The Horizonte Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Aranha says Horizonte went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Horizonte

Tiago Gomes 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.

Squad

Words at Horizonte training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Henrique Andrade 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.

Market

Gabriel Borges is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Horizonte has been clear about where Gabriel Borges stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Willian Souza linked with a move away

The name of Willian Souza keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Horizonte say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Sérgio Carvalho 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.

The dugout

Agustín Correa has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Agustín Correa has written the date down.

Looking ahead

An away day at Sousa next for Horizonte

They sit in position 7 and they will be waiting. Away form is where a season shows its true character, and this side has a point to make about its own.

Squad

The selectors could not leave Gallito out

7.24 across ninety minutes and a place in the division's team of the week. He was the best player on that pitch and everybody there knew it.

In brief
