Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Oeste

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Oeste is running low.

Squad

Andrey: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Oeste have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Sérgio Raphael in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Oeste this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Juninho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Douglas Santos comes home

The shirt still fits. Douglas Santos is back at Oeste, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Perninha comes home

As if he never left: Mateus Borges returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Mateus Borges is a Oeste player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Match

Atlético Mineiro take the points off Oeste

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Rubens

“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.

Boardroom

The ground is getting bigger

The plans are signed off at a capacity of 1041. Decisions like this are judged twenty years later, by people who were not in the room when they were taken.
