Squad

The knee: Eduardo Batista out for 25 days

25 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Operário-MS lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Tempers go at Operário-MS

Waldson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Vivico falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Still no ink between Operário-MS and Betão

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Operário-MS, another week without a signature from Betão.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Fábio Farias

“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.

Market

The Marcelinho question follows Operário-MS around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Marcelinho’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Waldson 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 Operário-MS this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Operário-MS against Joinville

0‑2 to Joinville, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Erivélton gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Still no ink between Operário-MS and Varolo

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Operário-MS, another week without a signature from Varolo.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Operário-MS

17 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 João Xavier left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

The formation has left Fabrício Lima behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Operário-MS will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad

A first team debut at 20 for Guilherme Sousa

Off the academy pitches and into a senior shirt, at 20. The parents in the stand will keep the programme, and so will he.

Player ratings

Anderson Cordeiro runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 9. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

What a way to start for Samuel Braga — 9.30

3 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 9.30 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Match

Operário-MS tear Cascavel apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 8‑0 against Cascavel, and it could have been more.

Squad

Arthur Baggio takes the match ball home

4 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad

Natan 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. Natan has, at Operário-MS, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Betão stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Betão and Operário-MS agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Arthur Baggio among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Arthur Baggio on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Operário-MS and Cascavel.

Player ratings

Arthur Baggio was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.67. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The terraces

One of their own: Arthur Baggio

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
