The terraces

Supporters organise against the Amazonas board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Dunga 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 The request is on a desk at Amazonas, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

André Assis keeps the receipts

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

Transfer targets

Fred Conte due for a Amazonas medical

Everything agreed with Guarani, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Real improvement from Caio Araújo at Amazonas

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Caio Araújo is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market

Caio Araújo is a Amazonas player

The fee is $120.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Santos drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad

Tempers go at Amazonas

Alyson 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

Time is catching up with Fabiano

Everybody at Amazonas saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 36 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

Transfer targets

Amazonas baulk at the price for Scapin

Novorizontino wanted more than $19.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Back issues

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

11 matches without a win for Amazonas

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Amazonas are no longer polite ones.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Amazonas

0‑6 against Ferroviária, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Match

The goals have deserted Amazonas

9 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Amazonas can tell you which week it ends in.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

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

Boardroom

Léo will join Amazonas for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Léo has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Amazonas have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad

Words exchanged at Amazonas

Genílson 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.

Squad

Beaten 6 times: a bad day for Caio Carvalho

2 saves does not settle the argument about whose fault it was, and the argument will run all week. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines whoever caused them.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Amazonas

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑6 defeat, delivered by Leonardo Teixeira to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
