The Mirassol Courier
Market21 Sep 2026
João Victor puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mirassol, and it is not being withdrawn.

Walter keeps Mirassol in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

José Aldo pops up at the right end — 7.85
7.85, 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.
Match19 Sep 2026
4 matches without a win for Mirassol
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Mirassol are no longer polite ones.
Squad21 Sep 2026
Words exchanged at Mirassol
Walter 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.
Player ratings21 Sep 2026
Negueba has a hand in both — 7.99
One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.99, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.
Match19 Sep 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Mirassol and Sport Recife in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Match19 Sep 2026
Sport Recife take the points off Mirassol
Beaten 2‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout21 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Walter
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Squad Gustavo Pereira falls out with a teammate over standards
- The dugout The view from the dugout
- Squad Róbson is a square peg at Mirassol
