From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

The wait goes on for Humaitá

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Rivaldo asks to leave Humaitá

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

Humaitá are in real trouble now

Position 14, 5 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Transfer targets

Juazeirense tell Humaitá: Cristian is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Ronaldo 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 terraces

Humaitá supporters have found a favourite in Ismael Camors

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Ismael Camors has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market

One of our own: Juninho joins the Humaitá first team

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

Boardroom

Wages eat 136% of everything Humaitá earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The dugout

No hiding place for Eduardo

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

In brief
