Squad

Javier Zorro says Patriotas 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Patriotas

Brayan Fernández 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.

Squad

Ferney Rivadeneira signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ferney Rivadeneira commits to Patriotas for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Patriotas

Brayan Fernández 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.

Market

Valledupar expected to open talks for Andrés Macea

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Patriotas will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

No hiding place for Alejandro Amaya

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

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Andrés Alarcón’s exile

6 goals in 27 games at Dinamo Makhachkala — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Patriotas updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Market

Iván Camacho placed on the list

Patriotas have made Iván Camacho available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Esteven Salguero 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 Patriotas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Fluminense Post

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Luciano Acosta 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 Fluminense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Isack signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Isack commits to Fluminense for another 4 years.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Guilherme Arana

“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.

Squad

Ignacio in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Market

The Luciano Acosta question follows Fluminense around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Luciano Acosta’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Loan watch

Lelê keeps scoring at Pafos

24 appearances away from home and 5 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Samuel Xavier 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 Fluminense, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Guilherme Arana signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Guilherme Arana commits to Fluminense for another 4 years.

No hiding place for Juan Pablo Freytes

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

The Luciano Acosta question follows Fluminense around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Luciano Acosta’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

Talks stall between Fluminense and Guga

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

24 months and counting on Otávio

Still no offer on the table, and Otávio’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

A wage question at Fluminense

Vitor Eudes has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Everaldo’s exile

3 goals in 20 games at Bahia — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Fluminense updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.
