Squad23 Feb 2032

A fracture rules Willian Lima out for 16 days

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

A falling-out at Floresta

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

Vinicius Barata gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Vinicius Barata has just signed for Floresta, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad23 Feb 2032

Floresta lose Aldo Torres

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout23 Feb 2032

The manager makes an example of Cedric

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom23 Feb 2032

Wages swallow 125% of the Floresta income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Eduardo Ribeiro gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Eduardo Ribeiro is on it.

Vinicius Barata brings the grey hairs Floresta lacked

At 33, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

The Felipinho story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Felipinho signs something — a contract at Floresta or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad16 Feb 2032

23 days out for Willian Lima after a fracture

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

Market16 Feb 2032

Only the photograph left for Jhonata Varela

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jhonata Varela will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Floresta the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Felipinho 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 Floresta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Words at Floresta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Rojas 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.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Floresta count the cost of losing Chefe

17 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout16 Feb 2032

Cedric asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout16 Feb 2032

Hugo Rodríguez gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Hugo Rodríguez is on it.

The dugout16 Feb 2032

The manager makes an example of Kristian Mong

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The Emerson Buiu question follows Floresta around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Emerson Buiu’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
