Marked for Mateus Mendes

117 Edition

The Mirassol Courier

23 Oct 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match21 Oct 2028

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.

Squad23 Oct 2028

Tempers go at Mirassol

Luciano Juba 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.

Squad23 Oct 2028

The manager makes an example of Joaquín Bonnin

“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.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

One of those days for João Victor

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.43, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

A masterclass from Negueba

Marked 8.12 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad23 Oct 2028

No place for Reinaldo on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Mirassol pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

Antonio Galeano runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad23 Oct 2028

João Pedro lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Match21 Oct 2028

Mirassol and Bragantino take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

In brief

The Boa Sentinel

16 Oct 2028
From our football correspondent Crisis

Match16 Oct 2028

Boa sink to position 11

8 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Market16 Oct 2028

Geovane has one foot out of the door

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

Squad16 Oct 2028

Ernando 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 Boa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Gabriel Soares signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gabriel Soares and Boa agree another 1 years.

Squad16 Oct 2028

The manager makes an example of Pericles

“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.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Wallace Oliveira 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.

The Mirassol Courier

16 Oct 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market16 Oct 2028

Denilson asks to leave Mirassol

“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.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Tempers go at Mirassol

Neto Moura 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.

Player ratings16 Oct 2028

Denilson runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Reinaldo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Rúben Ismael stays put

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

Squad16 Oct 2028

João Pedro lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.
