Squad

Magrão stands alone

10 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match

Atletico Goianiense taken apart

0‑5 to Corinthians, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match

6 matches without a win for Atletico Goianiense

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Atletico Goianiense are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atletico Goianiense

Adriano Mina 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

A row about effort at Atletico Goianiense

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

The dugout

Adriano Mina 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.

Boardroom

Inquest at Atletico Goianiense

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad

Kevin Ramirez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kevin Ramirez commits to Atletico Goianiense for another 4 years.

In brief

  • The dugout Ewerthon is still being punished for one mistake
  • The dugout Interim Coach: “No excuses”
  • Player ratings Ewerthon will replay that one

Market

Magrão has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Atletico Goianiense they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

Atletico Goianiense are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 36 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

The dugout

Sem Pepers says Atletico Goianiense 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Atletico Goianiense

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

Squad

Words at Atletico Goianiense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Magrão 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

The manager makes an example of Fredy Colmán

“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.

Boardroom

Atletico Goianiense spell it out for the manager

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. the manager has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Boardroom

Crisis meeting at Atletico Goianiense

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

The dugout

Gustavo Maia: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Atletico Goianiense have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atletico Goianiense

Adriano Mina 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

Ewerthon 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

Atletico Goianiense keep their word to Guilherme Romão

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout

The manager's exit leaves Guilherme Romão exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Guilherme Romão is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

The dugout

No hiding place for Luiz Sá

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

Squad

“I want to play”: Luiz Sá speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.
