The Parana Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Chastening afternoon for Parana

A 0‑3 beating by Nautico was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Eltinho stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eltinho and Parana agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Parana

Luis Salazar was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Eltinho 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

No hiding place for Juliano Chade

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

Market

No place for Vinícius Michelon in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Vinícius Michelon has his answer from Parana; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Parana dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market

Talks stall between Parana and Eltinho

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

The formation has left André Shinyashiki behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Parana will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

In brief
