Squad

A falling-out at Jequié

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Quintino

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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Athirson Kauan

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

Player ratings

Quintino was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.24. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Market

Talks stall between Jequié and Ahmed Al-Nemer

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Match

Honours even between Jequié and ASA

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Diego Freitas was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Jequié dressing room was either.

Squad

Quintino scores his first for Jequié

The one goal every signing is asked about until it comes. It has come, and a press-conference question has been retired.

The dugout

Felipe left out for tactical reasons at Jequié

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

In brief

  • Looking ahead Neto faces his old club
  • Player ratings Neto keeps on missing
  • The dugout The form table has caught Cobra

The Jequié Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

No end in sight to Jequié's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Jequié has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Jequié come up short against América de Natal

América de Natal left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

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

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Thiago Nardo 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 Antônio Soares from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Antônio Soares 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 Marcinho

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

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑3 Diego Freitas left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout

Quintino knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Jequié, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Felipe

Nobody at Jequié is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Player ratings

Quintino changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Jequié had a different afternoon.

In brief

  • Squad Cleiton has outgrown this division
  • Player ratings Neto runs at them all day
  • Squad The shirt belongs to Cobra now
