The dugout

Rodrigo Andrade keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Goiânia may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings

Both of them Luís Santos's — 8.06

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.06, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Mateus Teixeira has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Goiânia

Éder Nogueira 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.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Goiânia

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Match

Luís Santos the difference as Goiânia beat Pouso Alegre

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Luís Santos. 3‑1 against Pouso Alegre, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

A row about effort at Goiânia

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

The terraces

One of their own: Rodrigo Andrade

He is 23 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.

Market

Wesley Alves steps up from the Goiânia academy

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