Nathan Santos: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Juventude have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Gabriel Taliari 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 Juventude this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Juventude training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Diogo Barbosa 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.

Match12 Dec 2026

No end in sight to Juventude's wait for a win

21 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Juventude has to find a result from somewhere.

Match14 Dec 2026

Juventude are in real trouble now

Position 20, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Alisson Safira attracts admirers

The name of Alisson Safira has come up in conversations Juventude were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Juventude to lose Beto for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Beto has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Juventude

Gabriel Taliari 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.

Market14 Dec 2026

Juventude sign Georgemy for $180.0K

The paperwork is done: Georgemy joins from Mirassol in a deal worth $180.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Match12 Dec 2026

The goals have deserted Juventude

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Juventude can tell you which week it ends in.

Market14 Dec 2026

Beto moves on

Santa Cruz pay $150.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Marcos Paulo 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.

In brief

  • Squad Marcílio falls out with a teammate over standards
  • Squad Igor João signs a new deal
  • Squad The manager makes an example of Raí

Match7 Nov 2026

16 matches without a win for Juventude

The run now stands at 16, and the questions being asked around Juventude are no longer polite ones.

Market9 Nov 2026

Luiz Mandaca asks to leave Juventude

“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.

Nobody could get near Marcos Paulo

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match7 Nov 2026

Grêmio take the points off Juventude

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

In brief

  • Squad The manager makes an example of Raí
  • Squad Raí dropped after a run of poor form
