Cristiano Ribeiro breaks a bone — 45 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 45 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Márcio Oliveira steps up from the Mirassol academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Márcio Oliveira has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Guilherme Barbosa joins the Mirassol first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Guilherme Barbosa is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
