Marked for Roni

Squad12 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Brasil de Pelotas

Roni 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

This league is too small for Figueiredo

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Brasil de Pelotas will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Marcelo Rangel stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Marcelo Rangel and Brasil de Pelotas agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Brasil de Pelotas are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Vitor Queiroz 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.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Rafael Neves 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.

Market12 Oct 2026

Brasil de Pelotas bring in an old head

Marcelo Rangel is 38 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Vitor Queiroz story refuses to die

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

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Anderson Mauro has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Anderson Mauro has written the date down.

Match26 Sep 2026

Monte Azul punish Brasil de Pelotas for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Vitor Queiroz will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Brasil de Pelotas escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Market28 Sep 2026

Eduardo Santos 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 Brasil de Pelotas, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Caio Rangel says Brasil de Pelotas 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Brasil de Pelotas count the cost of losing Roni

19 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market28 Sep 2026

Vitor Queiroz has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Brasil de Pelotas can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Vitor Queiroz was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.32. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Brasil de Pelotas training over how hard people work

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Brasil de Pelotas

Tuta 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Vitor Queiroz rescues a point for Brasil de Pelotas

It needed Vitor Queiroz to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Monte Azul, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad14 Sep 2026

José Moura stands alone

7 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Matheus Xavier, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.95

A mark of 7.95 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Matheus Xavier

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

André Nardo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Brasil de Pelotas training over how hard people work

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

Market14 Sep 2026

Apolonia Fier are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Brasil de Pelotas will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Match12 Sep 2026

Honours even between Brasil de Pelotas and Itabirito

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Márcio Rocha was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Brasil de Pelotas dressing room was either.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Sérgio Fonseca 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.
