Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Paulo Peixoto

42 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Avaí lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Wallison has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Avaí they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Words exchanged at Avaí

Luiz Henrique and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Avaí

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Allyson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Avaí lose André Costa

18 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

No hiding place for Thayllon

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

Match

Honours even between Avaí and CRB

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

Half-satisfied: Wesley Xavier on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Wesley Gasolina

Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

In brief

  • The dugout Thayllon is still being punished for one mistake
  • The dugout Paulo Vitor gets picked when it counts
  • Market Wallison runs his contract down
