Squad18 Jan 2027

The knee: Kaio Magno out for 73 days

73 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mirassol lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market18 Jan 2027

Ignacio Colombo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mirassol, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Lucas Oliveira: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Mirassol have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad18 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Mirassol

Alesson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words at Mirassol training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eduardo 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.

Market18 Jan 2027

Lucas Oliveira is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Mirassol has been clear about where Lucas Oliveira stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Too much change too quickly at Mirassol

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of André Luís

“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.

Market18 Jan 2027

The Negueba story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Negueba signs something — a contract at Mirassol or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kaio Magno

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

The dugout11 Jan 2027

André Luís keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Mirassol may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market11 Jan 2027

Daniel Borges 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Alesson 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 Mirassol this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Real improvement from Leonardo Forti at Mirassol

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Leonardo Forti is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market11 Jan 2027

Cristiano Correia steps up from the Mirassol academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cristiano Correia 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.

Market11 Jan 2027

Mirassol promote Antônio Machado from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Antônio Machado has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Mirassol

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

The dugout11 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Ignacio Colombo

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

Squad4 Jan 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kaio Magno

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

Squad4 Jan 2027

Alesson honoured for the season

The kind of year that ends with a name being read out in a hall. Mirassol had the benefit of it every week and now have the problem of everybody else knowing.

Market4 Jan 2027

Gustavo Cazonatti hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mirassol can pretend not to have heard.

Market4 Jan 2027

America Mineiro come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mirassol did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Pedro is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Mirassol rebuffed over Mateo Ponte

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Botafogo have kept their man, and Mirassol go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Mirassol

João Victor 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.

Match2 Jan 2027

A bad afternoon for Mirassol against Botafogo

1‑2 to Botafogo, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Walter

“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.
