A knee injury of the worst kind for Jean Carioca
30 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Imperatriz lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Bruno Ré breaks a bone — 129 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 129 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Vintage Claudinho — 7.80
At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.80, and nobody on the pitch better.

Caio Assis hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Imperatriz can pretend not to have heard.

Guto in a row with a teammate

Caio Assis is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 16 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The crowd has taken to Fabrício Lima
At 20 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.

Diego Bolt runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
