Squad

A fracture rules Mattheus Silva out for 28 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Brasil de Pelotas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Full time on the season at Brasil de Pelotas

Position 5 on 56 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

Market

Guilherme Freitas has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Diego Barbosa is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match

Brasil de Pelotas come up short against Barra

Barra left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Words exchanged at Brasil de Pelotas

Julián Reyna 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

A row about effort at Brasil de Pelotas

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Douglas Cunha

“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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Brasil de Pelotas

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

In brief
