Marked for Eduardo

Squad26 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Leonardo out for 87 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Confiança will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A one-man rearguard from Fábio Rampi

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Confiança

Lynneeker 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.

Match24 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Confiança against ABC

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

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Eduardo

“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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

24 new faces, and Confiança are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Rafael Cavalcante answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Douglas Silva is still paying for one afternoon at Confiança

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.

Looking ahead26 Oct 2026

A test against the best for Confiança

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Náutico.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Leonardo out for 126 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Confiança will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Confiança

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

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Confiança

Tiba 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.

Match19 Sep 2026

Confiança come up short against Guarani

Guarani left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Eduardo

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

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Rafael Cavalcante left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Antônio Villa is a square peg at Confiança

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Adalberto left out for tactical reasons at Confiança

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Looking ahead21 Sep 2026

Jefferson Renan faces his old club

Brusque next, and one man in the Confiança dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
