Marrony falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Words exchanged at Atletico Goianiense
Junior Barreto 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.

A masterclass from Kahiser Lenis
Marked 8.06 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Willian Silva: “That is the standard”
“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑0, already talking about the next one.
