Liliu 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 Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Parana training over how hard people work

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

Lucão runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market10 Aug 2026

Parana promote Arthur Assis from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Arthur Assis 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.

One of our own: Daniel Borges joins the Parana first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Daniel Borges is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Vitão joins the Parana first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vitão is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Parana promote Bruno Rocha from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bruno Rocha 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.

The afternoon belonged to Arthur Caike

A mark of 7.79, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The formation has left Lucas Sotero behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Parana will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The Parana Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad3 Aug 2026

Eltinho stays put

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Parana

Liliu 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.

Boardroom3 Aug 2026

Parana agree a free transfer for Otávio

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Eltinho 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.

Liliu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Parana and Eltinho

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Parana

14 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 dugout3 Aug 2026

Thiago Peixoto on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Thiago Peixoto after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Market3 Aug 2026

Parana bring in an old head

Cristian Santos is 33 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.

In brief
