Squad

Tempers go at Guarani

Isaque 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 Guarani training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Miguel Terceros 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

Guarani lose Éder Silva

16 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Looking ahead

Isaque goes back to face Mirassol

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Isaque’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Guarani needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout

Amarildo knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Guarani, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Caíque França talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Guarani know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Dalberson 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 Dalberson is on it.

Market

Guarani put Luiz Andrade up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Luiz Andrade may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

Talks stall between Guarani and Alex Martínez

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Match

Rafael Freitas leads the rout of Maringá

6‑0, and Rafael Freitas took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Guarani tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

Rafael Freitas scores twice — 8.45

Two goals and a mark of 8.45 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Only the photograph left for Lucão

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Lucão will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Guarani the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Jonathan Costa delivers — 7.75

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Jonathan Costa scored, was marked 7.75, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Guarani — 7.98

1 for Nathan Melo, marked 7.98, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Boardroom

Dentinho signs for Vila Nova while still at Guarani

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Dentinho has agreed terms with Vila Nova for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Lucca 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 Guarani this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Rafael Freitas among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Rafael Freitas on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Guarani and Maringá.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Rafael Freitas

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
