Luiz Felipe says Caxias went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

A defender's goal wins it for Caxias — 7.28
1 for Huguinho, marked 7.28, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Caxias count the cost of losing Lucas Mineiro
30 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Graduation day at Caxias
1 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Jackson frozen out at Caxias
This is not rotation. Jackson has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Caxias is pretending otherwise.

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

Tempers go at Caxias
Fabrício Kanté 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.

Caxias supporters have found a favourite in Huguinho
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Huguinho has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Caxias promote Pantera from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pantera has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
