Boardroom1 Jul 2030

The scrutiny sharpens at Joinville

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Joinville is running low.

Player ratings1 Jul 2030

Guti, 39, rolls back the years — 8.09

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.09 at 39, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market1 Jul 2030

Only the photograph left for Edgar Feijó

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Edgar Feijó will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Joinville the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match29 Jun 2030

Joinville end the wait against Guarany de Bagé

It had gone 7 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Tempers go at Joinville

Guti 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.

Transfer targets1 Jul 2030

Joinville rebuffed over Joaquim

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Avaí have kept their man, and Joinville go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match29 Jun 2030

Guti the difference as Joinville beat Guarany de Bagé

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Guti. 1‑0 against Guarany de Bagé, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Correia 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.

Squad1 Jul 2030

Boris Mkhitaryan wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Joinville can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

In brief

  • Transfer targets A loan move for Rafael Juwer is in the works
  • Transfer targets Joinville try to borrow Pedrinho
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

Squad29 Apr 2030

Panyo Godwin damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad29 Apr 2030

Victor Hugo keeps Joinville in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad29 Apr 2030

Words exchanged at Joinville

Guti 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.

The dugout29 Apr 2030

Edgar Feijó frozen out at Joinville

This is not rotation. Edgar Feijó has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Joinville is pretending otherwise.

Match27 Apr 2030

Joinville come up short against Botafogo-PB

Botafogo-PB left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad29 Apr 2030

Words at Joinville training over how hard people work

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

The dugout29 Apr 2030

No hiding place for Lucas Garrido

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

The dugout29 Apr 2030

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 1‑3 Yuri Zhemchuzhnikov left the room before anybody could ask which.

Boardroom29 Apr 2030

Joinville have to sell first

The manager has a list and the board has a condition attached to it. That is not a crisis — half of football works this way — but it decides which of the two of them gets his way in August.

In brief
