Market7 Jun 2027

Iván Ramos has one foot out of the door

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

Squad7 Jun 2027

David Lopes signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” David Lopes and Lagarto agree another 4 years.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Lagarto

Daelson 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.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Bruno Limão is slowing down

At 37, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Botafogo-PB tell Lagarto: Riquelme is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Tallison 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.

Match5 Jun 2027

A bad afternoon for Lagarto against Treze

0‑2 to Treze, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout7 Jun 2027

Joãozinho gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings7 Jun 2027

Felipe Rangel beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Antônio 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 Lagarto this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Paulinho gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Francisco Rivera 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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for André Borges

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

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Lagarto

Romario Da Silva and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market9 Nov 2026

Rafael Queiroz steps up from the Lagarto academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rafael Queiroz has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Arthur Nascimento

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

Squad9 Nov 2026

Francisco Rivera 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 dugout9 Nov 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Joãozinho's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Felipe Rangel

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Joãozinho: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Lagarto will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Bruno Limão dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
