The terraces

The mood at Parana has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match

No end in sight to Parana's wait for a win

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

Squad

The knee: Wesley Rodrigues out for 108 days

108 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Parana lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout

Pedro Paulo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Parana have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Igor in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Parana

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

One of our own: Renato Pacheco joins the Parana first team

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

Cristiano Cunha steps up from the Parana academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cristiano Cunha has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
