The terraces

Anger at Porto Velho spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match

Porto Velho leaking at the back

13 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Match

Porto Velho are in real trouble now

Position 16, 3 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Renzo Trotta is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Porto Velho is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Daniel Borges puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Porto Velho, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

No end in sight to Porto Velho's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Porto Velho has to find a result from somewhere.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Caio Martins

Porto Velho asked and Horizonte said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words at Porto Velho training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Diego Cerón 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

A bad afternoon for Porto Velho against Porto Vitória

1‑2 to Porto Vitória, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

A day Paulo Rocha will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Paulo Rocha at 16 — 9.39

The hardest thing about being 16 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Paulo Rocha did not need any: 9.39, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Marcelo Figueiredo asks to leave Porto Velho

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

Paulo Rocha sends Porto Velho past Capital

It finished 5‑3, and it was Paulo Rocha’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Porto Velho.

Match

8 goals as Porto Velho and Capital go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Porto Velho and Capital, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for Porto Velho

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Vitor Bezerra

At 14 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

Pedro Guimarães stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Pedro Guimarães and Porto Velho agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Douglas Fonseca: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 5‑3, already talking about the next one.
