Antônio Lopes hands in a written request

Alex Santos runs at them all day

Words at Monte Azul training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Denilson 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.
