Squad

Tempers go at CRB

Laureano Martínez 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

Dadá Belmonte 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.

The dugout

Dadá Belmonte 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.

The dugout

Igo Gabriel has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at CRB will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

The Igo Gabriel talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. CRB know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Victor Lube knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at CRB, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match

Whatever happens, CRB do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

A falling-out at CRB

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

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at CRB

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

One of our own: Rafael Braga joins the CRB first team

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

Market

CRB promote Alex Amaral from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alex Amaral 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.

One of our own: Danilo Soares joins the CRB first team

CRB promote Alex Bezerra from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alex Bezerra 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.

Boardroom

CRB are making the ground bigger

Work is signed off on a capacity of 12544. It is the sort of decision a club is judged on twenty years later, by people who were not there when it was taken.

Squad

Douglas Baggio 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.
