Marked for Raul

Market12 Oct 2026

Émerson Ramon has one foot out of the door

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

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Cuiabá

Fernando Sobral 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.

Market12 Oct 2026

Raul comes home

The shirt still fits. Raul is back at Cuiabá, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Guilherme Mariano 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

No place for Damián Gómez in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Cuiabá are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Yamil Asad 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.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Fernando Sobral talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Cuiabá know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market12 Oct 2026

The clock does Émerson Ramon’s negotiating for him

3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Cuiabá could ask drops and the wages Émerson Ramon can ask rise.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Damián Gómez still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Cuiabá would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market5 Oct 2026

Yamil Asad is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Cuiabá is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets5 Oct 2026

Raul due for a Cuiabá medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Yamil Asad has agreed to leave Cuiabá for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Émerson Ramon 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 Cuiabá this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match3 Oct 2026

Remo take the points off Cuiabá

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Gabriel Knesowitsch 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.

The dugout5 Oct 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 0‑1 Willian Figueiredo left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Damián Gómez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Damián Gómez and Cuiabá agree another 1 years.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Rodrigo Rodrigues

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Rodrigo Rodrigues has come out of that comparison in the side, and Cuiabá have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
