Jean Dias says no to Zira

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Jean Dias had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Guilherme Marques — 7.72

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 16 actions, 7.72, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Player ratings

Matheusinho has a hand in both — 7.31

One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.31, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.

Squad

A falling-out at Atlético Goianiense

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

Market

Hradec Králové are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Atlético Goianiense will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Match

Atlético Goianiense come up short against Goiás

Goiás left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match

Guilherme Marques’s goal not enough for Atlético Goianiense

Guilherme Marques scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to América Mineiro, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout

Paulo Vitor 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

Juninho steps up from the Atlético Goianiense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Juninho 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.

In brief
