Squad

Sérgio Raphael 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 Oeste this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Juninho 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.

Squad

Grígor 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.

Squad

Juninho signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Juninho commits to Oeste for another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Oeste

Sérgio Raphael 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Diego Aragão

“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.

Squad

A step back for Grígor at Oeste

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

Oeste take the armband off Sérgio Raphael

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

The dugout

The manager makes Cassiano a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Oeste. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

In brief

  • The dugout Favorito knocks on the manager's door
  • The dugout Juninho keeps his manager's vote

Squad

Words at Oeste training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Grígor 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

Juninho has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Oeste will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.
