Bruno Dip was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Parana promote Foguete from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Foguete has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

João Morelli is a square peg at Parana
The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
