Squad

Renato Pitbull arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Renato Pitbull has, at Jequié, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market

Thiago Assis 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 The request is on a desk at Jequié, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Luiz Guilherme signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luiz Guilherme and Jequié agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Jequié

Luiz Guilherme 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.

The dugout

Fábio Szymonek gets it from the manager

“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.

Match

Jequié come up short against Treze

Treze left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Diego Freitas faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Diego Freitas after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Market

A long bet from Jequié on Luiz Guilherme

He is 20, and nobody at Jequié signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Boardroom

87% of the income goes out in wages at Jequié

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Player ratings

Gabriel Tavares could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.73

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.73, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

The terraces

One of their own: Gabriel Tavares

He is 14 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Gabriel Tavares sends Jequié past Ferroviário

It finished 2‑0, and it was Gabriel Tavares’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Jequié.

Market

One of our own: Thiago Assis joins the Jequié first team

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

Market

Jequié promote Roberto Machado from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Roberto Machado 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.

Market

Jequié promote José Machado from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. José Machado 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.

Player ratings

Fábio Silva unlocks it

Chances created: 13. The column nobody reads carried the whole story of the match, and his name was at the top of it.

The terraces

A long trip to Ferroviário worth making

2-0, and a corner of somebody else's ground that made more noise than the rest of it put together. Those coaches leave before dawn and nobody outside them ever mentions it.
