Squad23 Oct 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Everaldo

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

Squad23 Oct 2028

A fracture rules Julián Millán out for 78 days

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

Match18 Oct 2028

Cup progress for Fluminense

A 1‑1 win over Flamengo, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad23 Oct 2028

Matheus Donelli decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Market23 Oct 2028

Renê has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Fluminense they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad23 Oct 2028

Tempers go at Fluminense

Martinelli 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.

Match21 Oct 2028

Still nobody has beaten Fluminense

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

Nobody could get near Álvaro Barreal

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings23 Oct 2028

Ignacio was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.22. 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 Aug 2028

Everaldo damages knee ligaments — 107 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 107 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.

Match23 Aug 2028

Fluminense through in the cup

A 3‑2 win over Atlético Mineiro, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match23 Aug 2028

Michel Araújo wins it after the whistle should have gone

109 minutes played. Michel Araújo found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Atlético Mineiro went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Squad28 Aug 2028

A move Emil Bohinen would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Emil Bohinen is living that version at Fluminense, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Rubén Lezcano says Fluminense 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.

Market28 Aug 2028

Renê has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Fluminense they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad28 Aug 2028

Words at Fluminense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luciano Acosta 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.

Player ratings28 Aug 2028

Michel Araújo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.72. 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.

Player ratings28 Aug 2028

One of those days for Rubén Lezcano

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.73, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Everaldo damages knee ligaments — 125 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 125 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.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Ignacio keeps the receipts

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

Squad14 Aug 2028

Martinelli 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.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Tempers go at Fluminense

Agustín Venezia 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.

Match12 Aug 2028

A bad afternoon for Fluminense against Vasco da Gama

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

Player ratings14 Aug 2028

Álvaro Barreal in the eights

A performance of 8.21 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings14 Aug 2028

Nobody could get near Agustín Canobbio

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Loan watch14 Aug 2028

Tiziano Correa has seen enough of Huracán

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Fluminense, and 5 appearances in 34 say he has earned the hearing.

Market14 Aug 2028

The Rodrigo Castillo question follows Fluminense around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Rodrigo Castillo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief
