Squad

Deyson Copete 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. Deyson Copete has, at Paysandu, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

A falling-out at Paysandu

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

Market

One of our own: Fernando Amaral joins the Paysandu first team

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

Market

Sérgio Batista steps up from the Paysandu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sérgio Batista 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: Paulo Souza joins the Paysandu first team

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Renato Maceió

“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

Paysandu get the job done against Ferroviária

A 1‑0 win over Ferroviária, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

No place for Nathan Cachorrão in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Paysandu are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

In brief
