Wallyson stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Wallyson and ABC agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Wallyson 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 ABC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match1 Aug 2026
ABC come up short against São Bernardo
São Bernardo left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The manager makes an example of Wellington Carvalho
“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.

Appearance number 200 for Edson
200 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.

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

24 months and counting on Wellington Carvalho
Still no offer on the table, and Wellington Carvalho’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Roberto Correia answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Still no ink between ABC and Bruno Leite
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at ABC, another week without a signature from Bruno Leite.
In brief
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Wallyson
- Looking ahead Fabão goes back to face Ypiranga
