Matheus Araújo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Sanchez damages knee ligaments — 42 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 42 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.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Luiz Otávio breaks a bone — 141 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 141 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match4 Sep 2027

The wait goes on for Ceará

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Klebinho asks to leave Ceará

“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.

Market6 Sep 2027

Only the photograph left for Lucca

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Lucca will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ceará the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Ceará

Vinicius Zanocelo 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.

Squad6 Sep 2027

A row about effort at Ceará

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

Squad31 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Matheus Nogueira

42 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Ceará lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad31 May 2027

Alan Cardoso breaks a bone — 42 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 42 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match29 May 2027

The wait goes on for Ceará

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

The dugout31 May 2027

Kayque says Ceará went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market31 May 2027

Klebinho asks to leave Ceará

“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.

Squad31 May 2027

Nicolás Ferreira 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 Ceará this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 May 2027

The goals have deserted Ceará

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Ceará can tell you which week it ends in.

Match29 May 2027

A bad afternoon for Ceará against Internacional

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

Squad31 May 2027

Matheus Araújo 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.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

A brace, and Nicolás Ferreira takes the afternoon — 8.40

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Nicolás Ferreira provided it, and the 8.40 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match7 Nov 2026

7 matches without a win for Ceará

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Ceará are no longer polite ones.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Richard stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Ceará

Dieguinho 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.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Renzo López

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

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words at Ceará training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matheus Araújo 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Klebinho signs on for more

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

Match7 Nov 2026

Ceará share the spoils with Bahia

A 2‑2 draw with Bahia leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

The form table has caught Renzo López

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.

Match31 Oct 2026

6 matches without a win for Ceará

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Ceará are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Nicolás Ferreira 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Ceará

Vinicius Zanocelo 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Ceará

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

Match31 Oct 2026

Bragantino take the points off Ceará

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Júlio César in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Souza

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

Squad2 Nov 2026

Klebinho signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Klebinho commits to Ceará for another 4 years.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Fernando Machado to a room that had heard them before.
