Market

Wanre Daikreo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at São José, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

The wait goes on for São José

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Words exchanged at São José

Maximiliano Rogoski and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

A bad afternoon for São José against Retrô

0‑1 to Retrô, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at São José training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mascarenhas 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.

Player ratings

Maximiliano Rogoski was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. 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.

The dugout

Mateus Rodrigues: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

No hiding place for Jhonatan Almeida

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jhonatan Almeida, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Alê Santos asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match

São José out of the cup

Figueirense ended it 0‑4. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces

A cup embarrassment at Figueirense follows São José home

0-4. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Squad

A falling-out at São José

Maximiliano Rogoski and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Alê Santos

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

A row about effort at São José

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mascarenhas was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Itabirito snatch it back from São José

A goal on 88 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Boardroom

Inquest at São José

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Player ratings

Jaja Silva stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.91 on the card, and the São José support went home talking about one name.

Player ratings

Igor Guimarães will replay that one

1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.
