From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market6 Sep 2027

Eduardo asks to leave Criciuma

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Gui Lobo says Criciuma 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.

Boardroom6 Sep 2027

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Criciuma

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Criciuma count the cost of losing Jean Irmer

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

Squad6 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Criciuma

Dória 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.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

One of those days for Romarinho

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.79, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Criciuma count the cost of losing Alisson

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

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

One of those days for Jhonata Robert

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.07, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Market6 Sep 2027

Nobody at Criciuma has picked up the phone to Dória

9 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market4 Jan 2027

Criciuma say no — this time

The offer from Grêmio for Bruno Alves was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market4 Jan 2027

Marcinho 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 The request is on a desk at Criciuma, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Yuri Tanque 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 Criciuma this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Gui Lobo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gui Lobo commits to Criciuma for another 3 years.

Squad4 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Alvinho

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alvinho, and the manager let it.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Bruno Alves knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Criciuma, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Criciuma

Aírton 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.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Wages eat 638% of everything Criciuma earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Rómulo Otero in the eights

A performance of 8.95 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Luciano Castán

“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.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nicolas runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match5 Sep 2026

Criciuma find a way past Parana

Parana made Criciuma work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Jean Irmer

Marked 8.07 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nothing got past Luciano Castán

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 17 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Sandry asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
