Match

The wait goes on for Cianorte

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Words exchanged at Cianorte

David Lucas 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

Words at Cianorte training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexsandro is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

No hiding place for Rodrigo Falcão

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

Squad

Júnior Martins signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Júnior Martins commits to Cianorte for another 3 years.

Player ratings

Edvan was the difference for Cianorte

Marked 7.67. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout

Roberto Costa on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Roberto Costa after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Match

Cianorte draw a blank against Azuriz

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Azuriz defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

The dugout

No place in the plan for David Lucas

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

In brief

  • Market Edvan linked with a move away
  • The dugout Vitão has become a man the manager trusts
  • Market Still no signature from Arthur Nascimento
Back issues

Squad

Fábio Lima damages knee ligaments — 86 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 86 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Rodrigo Falcão 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 Cianorte this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Jairo Torres

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

Words at Cianorte training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexsandro is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

One of our own: Júnior Martins joins the Cianorte first team

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Arthur Nascimento

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