Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ricardo Silva

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

Squad

Words exchanged at America Mineiro

Gonzalo Mastriani 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.

Transfer targets

Bragantino tell America Mineiro: Lucas Barbosa 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.

Squad

A step back for Tobías Ostchega at America Mineiro

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

Santiago Gioria signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Santiago Gioria and America Mineiro agree another 3 years.

The dugout

A door opens for Fernando Elizari

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market

Yago Santos leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Yago Santos leaves America Mineiro the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Italo leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Italo leaves America Mineiro the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Market

Geovane leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Geovane leaves America Mineiro the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Squad

111 days out for Alex Silva after a fracture

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

Boardroom

America Mineiro to lose Italo for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Italo 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 America Mineiro

Gonzalo Mastriani 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

America Mineiro may not be able to give Artur what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Artur wants continental football; whether America Mineiro can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Boardroom

Wages eat 120% of everything America Mineiro earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lucão

“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.
