Squad

Jardisson 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 União this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Dudu steps up from the União academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dudu 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Bastián Muñoz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bastián Muñoz, and the manager let it.

Squad

This league is too small for Eduardo Souza

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. União will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

União and Gabriel Silva are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Boardroom

União counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at União now.

The dugout

Emiliano Cuero knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at União, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Jardisson linked with a move away

The name of Jardisson keeps appearing in other people's back pages. União say nothing, which says plenty.

The terraces

Supporters make their feelings known about Davi Guedes

The speculation has reached the stands, and the stands have answered. União would like this settled before it becomes the only thing anybody asks about.

In brief
