The Marcílio Dias Chronicle

Squad

Tempers go at Marcílio Dias

Matheus Cavichioli 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.

Squad

Arthur Baggio 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.

One of our own: Igor Rocha joins the Marcílio Dias first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Igor Rocha is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Marcílio Dias promote Antônio Alves from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Antônio Alves 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Antônio

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

Looking ahead

Reginaldo faces his old club

Goiatuba next, and one man in the Marcílio Dias dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Arthur Baggio linked with a move away

The name of Arthur Baggio keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Marcílio Dias say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Matheus Cavichioli has settled at Marcílio Dias

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

Squad

Nicolás Ibarra takes up the language

The least glamorous thing a foreign signing ever does and the one that decides most of them. A player who can hear the shout behind him is a different footballer from one who cannot.

In brief
