From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Frazan hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Inter de Limeira can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Eduardo has said yes to Lagarto

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Inter de Limeira have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Player ratings

Rafael Freitas scores twice — 8.20

Two goals and a mark of 8.20 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

A fracture rules Risadinha out for 20 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Inter de Limeira will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Inter de Limeira make home a hard place to visit

13 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings

Nicolas, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70

A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Only the photograph left for Marquinhos Brazion

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Marquinhos Brazion will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Inter de Limeira the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets

Inter de Limeira make their move for Avelino

$87.0K on the table at Volta Redonda. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Lucas Buchecha 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 Inter de Limeira this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

28 days out for Risadinha after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Inter de Limeira will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

Inter de Limeira are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 23 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

Saulo keeps Inter de Limeira in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Inter de Limeira say no — this time

The offer from Independência for Eduardo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Lucas Santos hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Inter de Limeira can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Matheus Corrêa is a medical away from Inter de Limeira

The deal with Corinthians is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

A falling-out at Inter de Limeira

Rafael Freitas and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Inter de Limeira walk away from Avelino

$87.0K was the most the club would pay and Volta Redonda were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

Mário Henrique is slowing down

At 33, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

In brief

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Daniel Bahia leads the rout of São Luiz

3‑0, and Daniel Bahia took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Inter de Limeira tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings

A brace, and Daniel Bahia takes the afternoon — 9.10

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Daniel Bahia provided it, and the 9.10 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Risadinha breaks a bone — 36 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 36 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Inter de Limeira are top

23 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Market

Romarinho asks to leave Inter de Limeira

“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.

Squad

Saulo stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings

Nicolas, 20, steals the show — 7.69

Marked 7.69 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match

Inter de Limeira make home a hard place to visit

12 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

The dugout

Luiz Freitas: 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.” Inter de Limeira have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

In brief

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Terms done: Eduardo is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Barcelona de Ilhéus waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Inter de Limeira is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad

A fracture rules Risadinha out for 44 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Inter de Limeira will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Robson Júnior 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 Inter de Limeira, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Romarinho keeps the receipts

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

Squad

A falling-out at Inter de Limeira

Lucas Buchecha and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Vinicius Barreta

Inter de Limeira asked and Bragantino said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Player ratings

Nicolas was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Player of the month: Emerson Santos

Four weeks in which nobody in the division did his job better. The award goes on a shelf and the player goes back into the side, which is the order Inter de Limeira prefer.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Mário Henrique

7.73, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Inter de Limeira had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

In brief
