7 saves: Jean Drosny was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Paysandu say no — this time
The offer from TPS for Lucas Wasilewsky was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
John Echavez has agreed to leave Paysandu for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Gustavo Silva signs a new deal

Gustavo Silva 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.
Match4 Aug 2026
Paysandu get the job done against Cuiabá
A 3‑1 win over Cuiabá, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Match8 Aug 2026
Ítalo Pica-Pau’s goal not enough for Paysandu
Ítalo Pica-Pau scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Ferroviária, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The crowd has taken to Pablo
At 23 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.
