Squad

Danilo Xavier damages knee ligaments — 62 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 62 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout

Camargo: 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.” Águia de Marabá have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Águia de Marabá

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

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Águia de Marabá

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.

Boardroom

Belts tighten at Águia de Marabá

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Squad

Words at Águia de Marabá training over how hard people work

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

Match

Águia de Marabá get the job done against Maracanã

A 2‑1 win over Maracanã, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces

One of their own: Yago

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market

One of our own: Pedro Pacheco joins the Águia de Marabá first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Pedro Pacheco is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
