Match21 May 2036

Nova Iguaçu march on in the cup

Maringá are out and Nova Iguaçu go through, 3‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad26 May 2036

João Vitor keeps Nova Iguaçu in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings26 May 2036

Willian Queiroz scores twice — 8.77

Two goals and a mark of 8.77 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market26 May 2036

Facundo Pérez asks to leave Nova Iguaçu

“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.

Player ratings26 May 2036

Adriano pops up at the right end — 7.88

7.88, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad26 May 2036

Tempers go at Nova Iguaçu

Máximo Ramón 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.

Boardroom26 May 2036

Nova Iguaçu counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Nova Iguaçu now.

The terraces26 May 2036

Nova Iguaçu supporters have found a favourite in Willian Queiroz

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Willian Queiroz 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.

Match24 May 2036

Nova Iguaçu find a way past Criciúma

Criciúma made Nova Iguaçu work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 Jan 2036

A fracture rules Ofer Gelbard out for 94 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Nova Iguaçu will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market28 Jan 2036

Fábio Farias has one foot out of the door

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

Squad28 Jan 2036

A row about effort at Nova Iguaçu

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

Squad28 Jan 2036

A falling-out at Nova Iguaçu

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

The dugout28 Jan 2036

Bruno Aberastegui has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Nova Iguaçu will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market28 Jan 2036

The Arthur Augusto talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Nova Iguaçu know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market28 Jan 2036

Still no signature from Zé Luiz

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Nova Iguaçu could get for him.

The dugout28 Jan 2036

A door opens for Joel Lapadula

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The dugout28 Jan 2036

Diego Gomes asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
