Squad

Vitor Eudes stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match

Fluminense strike at the death to beat Botafogo

There were 85 minutes on the clock and Botafogo had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Fluminense did not stop to explain themselves.

Player ratings

Vintage Germán Cano — 8.21

At 38 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.21, and nobody on the pitch better.

Boardroom

Fluminense to lose Agner for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Agner has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Thiago Silva in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fluminense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Agner has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Fluminense they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Fluminense

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Words at Fluminense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jefferson Savarino 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

Rodrigo Castillo sends Fluminense past Botafogo

It finished 2‑1, and it was Rodrigo Castillo’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Fluminense.

Player ratings

Jefferson Savarino beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Vintage Germán Cano — 7.81

At 38 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.81, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market

Thiago Silva raises the bar for Fluminense

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Fluminense heard it as anything else.

Squad

Thiago Silva stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Thiago Silva and Fluminense agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Fluminense

Thiago Silva and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Fluminense

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jefferson Savarino was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Germán Cano the difference as Fluminense beat Santos

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Germán Cano. 1‑0 against Santos, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Fluminense are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Leonardo Neves, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

In brief

  • The dugout Martinelli knocks on the manager's door
  • Market 24 months and counting on Renê
  • The dugout The plan did not have a place for Vitor Eudes
