Squad

A falling-out at Brusque

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

Squad

Matheus Nogueira 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.

The dugout

Túlio gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

André Krobel knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and André Krobel trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Túlio has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Brusque will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Edílson's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Looking ahead

Cleyton faces his old club

Botafogo-PB next, and one man in the Brusque dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market

Renan Areias linked with a move away

The name of Renan Areias keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Brusque say nothing, which says plenty.

Looking ahead

Looking ahead: Botafogo-PB at home

A side in position 3 visits next. The result will not make anybody’s season and it could quietly break the shape of one, which is why the manager has been watching the video since Sunday.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

21 days out for Guilherme Assis after a fracture

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

Squad

Tempers go at Brusque

Matheus Nogueira was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Brusque

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Felipe Augusto was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Lobo steps up from the Brusque academy

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

Cipriano is still paying for one afternoon at Brusque

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout

When it matters, Mateus Pivô plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief
