Squad31 Aug 2026

Vinícius Michelon 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 Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 Aug 2026

Parana get the job done against America Mineiro

A 1‑0 win over America Mineiro, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Lucas Villela at his very best

Marked 8.33. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Parana.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Parana

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

Squad31 Aug 2026

Parana are still strangers to each other

17 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 dugout31 Aug 2026

Vinícius Pereira: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Lucas Bueno

“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.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The form table has caught Vander

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Looking ahead31 Aug 2026

A test against the best for Parana

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Criciuma.

Match8 Aug 2026

Carlos Júnior leads the rout of Oeste

3‑0, and Carlos Júnior took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Parana tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A brace, and Carlos Júnior takes the afternoon — 8.68

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Carlos Júnior provided it, and the 8.68 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Vintage Liliu — 9.03

At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 9.03, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Liliu 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 Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Yago Santos will join Parana for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Yago Santos has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Parana have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mateus Nardo steps up from the Parana academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mateus Nardo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Falcão steps up from the Parana academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Falcão has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Lucas Araujo joins the Parana first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lucas Araujo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Carlos Gomes steps up from the Parana academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Carlos Gomes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief

  • Squad 200 appearances for Liliu
  • Squad A row about effort at Parana
  • Squad No place for Vander in the new shape
