Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Internacional

Alexandro Bernabei 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 ratings23 Nov 2026

Both jobs done by Alerrandro — 6.84

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 15 actions, 6.84, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Words at Internacional training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alan Rodríguez 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.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Kayky

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match21 Nov 2026

A bad afternoon for Internacional against Cruzeiro

0‑1 to Cruzeiro, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad23 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Paulinho

“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.

Market2 Nov 2026

Alan Patrick raises the bar for Internacional

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Internacional heard it as anything else.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Internacional

Alerrandro 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Alan Rodríguez 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.

Match31 Oct 2026

Alerrandro’s goal not enough for Internacional

Alerrandro scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Palmeiras, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Thiago Maia 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Alan Rodríguez's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Both of them Alerrandro's — 8.74

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.74, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match26 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Internacional's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Internacional has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Alan Rodríguez is still paying for one afternoon at Internacional

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Match26 Sep 2026

Honours even between Internacional and Botafogo

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Vitinho

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Sep 2026

When it matters, Vitinho plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

An afternoon Alan Rodríguez will want back

Marked 4.59. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A brace, and Alerrandro takes the afternoon — 8.31

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alerrandro provided it, and the 8.31 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Vitinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market10 Aug 2026

Alexandro Bernabei wants more than Internacional are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Alexandro Bernabei signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alexandro Bernabei and Internacional agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Internacional

Alexandro Bernabei 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Thiago Galhardo would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Thiago Galhardo is living that version at Internacional, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Internacional training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alan Rodríguez 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Honours even between Internacional and Vitória

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market10 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Internacional and Vitinho

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
