The Bahia Courier

Jean Lucas stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Jean Lucas and Bahia agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Caio Alexandre 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 Bahia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

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

Cruzeiro take the points off Bahia
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Bahia pick somebody else ahead of Guido Herrera
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Bahia sign Vitor Correia, one for the future
Vitor Correia is 16, and Bahia have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Bahia sign Bruno Teixeira, one for the future
Bruno Teixeira is 16, and Bahia have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Bahia buy the years ahead of Igor Costa
He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

A long bet from Bahia on Leonardo Lima
He is 16, and nobody at Bahia signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
In brief
