From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Imperador

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Parnahyba out of the cup

Juventude ended it 0‑4. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces

A cup embarrassment at Juventude follows Parnahyba home

0-4. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Match

4 matches without a win for Parnahyba

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Parnahyba are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Tartá runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Late, late show earns Parnahyba a point

Minute 93, against Imperatriz, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Match

Parnahyba share the spoils with Imperatriz

A 1‑1 draw with Imperatriz leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Danilo Carvalho chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Douglas Cavalcante

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Parnahyba

0‑8 against GAS, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

Imperador keeps Parnahyba in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces

The stands have turned

“Enough is enough. We have watched this for months.” 7 of the 15 senior players walked off to it, and the message was not aimed at any one of them.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Parnahyba and GAS in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Boardroom

Bernardo Jacob will join Parnahyba for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Bernardo Jacob has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Parnahyba have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Market

Imperador steps up from the Parnahyba academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Imperador 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.

Parnahyba promote Arthur Teixeira from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Arthur Teixeira 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.
