Squad

57 days out for Dodô after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Itabaiana will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Terms done: Juninho is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Pouso Alegre waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Itabaiana is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad

A falling-out at Itabaiana

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

The dugout

Dodô 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

Kevin Ghigliazza is still paying for one afternoon at Itabaiana

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Squad

Words at Itabaiana training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Douglas Tavares is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Itabaiana

A 0‑7 beating by ABC was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Sorriso

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The terraces

The stands have turned

“Enough is enough. We have watched this for months.” 10 of the 15 senior players walked off to it, and the message was not aimed at any one of them.

Player ratings

A debut to forget for Fernando Neves — 4.96

Every first appearance is one of two stories, and this was the harder one: 4.96, and a long walk to the tunnel. The second appearance is the one that decides what the first one meant.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Itabaiana and ABC in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

Itabaiana come up short against Ituano

Ituano left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

Itabaiana promote Sorriso from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sorriso 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.

Market

One of our own: André Nardo joins the Itabaiana first team

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