Squad

Éder Lopes takes the match ball home

4 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match

Éder Lopes leads the rout of Joinville

5‑1, and Éder Lopes took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Brasil de Pelotas tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market

Risadinha wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Bruno Silva signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bruno Silva and Brasil de Pelotas agree another 5 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Brasil de Pelotas

Bruno Silva 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.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Brasil de Pelotas and Joinville in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Player ratings

Éder Lopes was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.63. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Boardroom

Brasil de Pelotas agree a free transfer for Figueiredo

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

The dugout

No hiding place for Gabigol

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

Cristiano Xavier raises the bar for Brasil de Pelotas

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Brasil de Pelotas heard it as anything else.

Squad

Words exchanged at Brasil de Pelotas

Cristiano Xavier 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

Bruno Silva 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.

Boardroom

Brasil de Pelotas agree a free transfer for Kauê Lima

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Market

Leixões watching Danilo Amaral

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Brasil de Pelotas have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout

Bruno Silva 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

Tiago Souza: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Player ratings

Éder Lopes leaves them behind him

Shots: 10. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
