Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Santa Cruz

Robinho 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.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

115% of the income goes out in wages at Santa Cruz

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Quirino named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Quirino is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

In brief

  • Squad Eurico Lima falls out with a teammate over standards
  • Squad Alex Ruan has become a man the manager trusts

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

A brace, and Quirino takes the afternoon — 8.68

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

Match5 Sep 2026

7 unbeaten for Santa Cruz

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Santa Cruz did not have in the autumn.

Tempers go at Santa Cruz

Robinho 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 ratings7 Sep 2026

Robinho 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Renato

“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.

Match5 Sep 2026

Santa Cruz hit back inside 3 minutes

Atletico Goianiense held the lead for 3 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Santa Cruz answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

In brief

  • Match Quirino rescues a point for Santa Cruz
  • Squad A place in the month's best eleven for Robinho
  • Squad Eurico Lima falls out with a teammate over standards
  • The terraces The press have found their man in Quirino

Squad10 Aug 2026

Robinho 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 Santa Cruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match8 Aug 2026

ABC take the points off Santa Cruz

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Pedro Costa 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Santa Cruz and Quirino are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Santa Cruz pick somebody else ahead of Willian Júnior

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Matheus Régis finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Santa Cruz have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
