A fracture rules Patrick out for 16 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Remo will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Patrick de Paula pops up at the right end — 7.80
7.80, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Duplexe Tchamba goes up and wins it — 7.03
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.03 for the rest of it.

6 goals as Remo and América Mineiro go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Remo and América Mineiro, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Claudinho and Remo agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

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

Arthur Teixeira steps up from the Remo academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Arthur Teixeira 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.

Remo promote Alex Borges from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alex Borges 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.

Jaderson 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.
