The Juventude Sentinel
Match19 Oct 2026
Juventude are in real trouble now
Position 19, 10 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.

Raí keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Juventude may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Match17 Oct 2026
4 matches without a win for Juventude
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Juventude are no longer polite ones.

Lucca is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Match17 Oct 2026
A bad afternoon for Juventude against Flamengo
0‑2 to Flamengo, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

A falling-out at Juventude
Iba Ly and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Alex Queiroz answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

When it matters, Alan Kardec plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
Looking ahead19 Oct 2026
Luiz Mandaca goes back to face Corinthians
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Luiz Mandaca’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Juventude needing him to play as if none of it matters.
