Marked for Sandro Silva

Squad15 Feb 2027

Felipe Carvalho 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.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Maricá

Sandro Silva 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.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Rafael Carioca

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

Market28 Dec 2026

Café asks to leave Maricá

“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.

The terraces28 Dec 2026

Supporters turn on the $1.1M sale of Pablo Thomaz

He is going to Juventude, the club has $1.1M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market28 Dec 2026

Pablo Thomaz moves on

Juventude pay $1.1M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Real improvement from Ruan at Maricá

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ruan is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Café 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.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

Maricá rebuffed over Zé Lucas

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cruzeiro have kept their man, and Maricá go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Sandro 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 Maricá this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom28 Dec 2026

Wages swallow 223% of the Maricá income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Transfer targets28 Dec 2026

A loan move for Yago Santos is in the works

Maricá have made the call to América Mineiro. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Marcelo damages knee ligaments — 77 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 77 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Vintage Sandro Silva — 8.20

At 38 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.20, and nobody on the pitch better.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Pablo Thomaz was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Felipe Carvalho 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 Maricá this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Rafael Forster is slowing down

At 36, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Match17 Oct 2026

The drought breaks for Maricá

6 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Porto Vitória were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Maricá training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Café 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.

Match17 Oct 2026

Sandro Silva sends Maricá past Porto Vitória

It finished 1‑0, and it was Sandro Silva’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Maricá.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Arthur Braga has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Arthur Braga on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
