Squad

6 saves: Mateus Claus was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Roberto, 36, rolls back the years — 8.18

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.18 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Lorran delivers — 7.48

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Lorran scored, was marked 7.48, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Match

Daniel Neves the difference as Caxias beat Brasil de Pelotas

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Daniel Neves. 3‑1 against Brasil de Pelotas, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

A row about effort at Caxias

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Caxias

Lorran 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Daniel Neves

He is 15 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.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Eduardo Silva, on a 3‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Felipe Augusto

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Caxias

A 0‑4 beating by Guarani was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Igo Gabriel keeps Caxias in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

A row about effort at Caxias

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

Boardroom

Nobody left the Caxias dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

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 0‑4 Eduardo Silva left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Tempers go at Caxias

Marlon Flórez 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

Carlos Miguel is a square peg at Caxias

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout

No hiding place for Juninho

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

The dugout

Caxias pick somebody else ahead of Daniel Neves

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
