Boardroom

Fluminense to lose Matheus Pedro for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Matheus Pedro 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Fluminense

Lelê 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.

Boardroom

Still no name above the door at Fluminense

Day 13 of the vacancy. Candidates have been priced, sounded out and quietly ruled out — and the caretaker’s win ratio is becoming an argument all by itself.

Squad

Words at Fluminense training over how hard people work

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

Market

The Danilo question follows Fluminense around

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

Squad

“I want to play”: Joaquín Lavega speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Squad

A fracture rules Tontini out for 18 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Remo will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

The small margins put Remo out

Out, 0‑0 to CSA, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match

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

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

Squad

André Luiz wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Market

Remo turn down Chikhura for Perotti

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Freitas beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 27. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match

Remo cannot find the net

6 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Market

Carlos Júnior has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Remo can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Market

Remo sell Jaderson for $880.0K

Jaderson has left for Sport Recife in a $880.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Player ratings

Freitas beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 38. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

André Luiz wins the shoot-out

2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Match

Cup progress for Remo

A 0‑0 win over Tuna Luso, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

14 days out for Patrick after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Remo will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

The drought breaks for Remo

7 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Náutico were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Squad

Tempers go at Remo

Carlos Júnior 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

Matheus Frizzo wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

A row about effort at Remo

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Leonel Picco was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Remo see off Náutico

Three points for Remo, 1‑0 the final word against Náutico in a contest settled by the finer margins.
