The terraces

Supporters organise against the Pouso Alegre board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

The dugout

Michael says Pouso Alegre 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.

Player ratings

Vintage William Mineiro — 8.09

At 35 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.09, and nobody on the pitch better.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Pouso Alegre

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

Santiago Gallardo 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.

Squad

Juan Soto 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 Pouso Alegre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Santiago Gallardo sends Pouso Alegre past Goiânia

It finished 2‑0, and it was Santiago Gallardo’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Pouso Alegre.

Market

Pouso Alegre promote Daniel Alves from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Alves 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.

Market

Fernando Souza steps up from the Pouso Alegre academy

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

In brief
