Nobody could get near Eric Ramires
Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Juninho Capixaba stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Juninho Capixaba and Bragantino agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Bragantino
Gabriel 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.

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

Isidro Pitta the difference as Bragantino beat Atlético Mineiro
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Isidro Pitta. 1‑0 against Atlético Mineiro, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Gustavo Marques 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.

Ninety minutes of José Hurtado at his very best
Marked 8.09. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bragantino.

Nobody at Bragantino has picked up the phone to Pedro Henrique
36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

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