Market28 Jul 2031

William agrees terms with Paysandu

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Ceará people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market28 Jul 2031

Not going: Arthur Maron stays at Ceará

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Sport Recife had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Match26 Jul 2031

7 matches without a win for Ceará

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Ceará are no longer polite ones.

Market28 Jul 2031

Murilo asks to leave Ceará

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout28 Jul 2031

Murilo Oncken keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Ceará may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Boardroom28 Jul 2031

Ceará to lose Nile John for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Nile John 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.

Squad28 Jul 2031

Words exchanged at Ceará

Anthoni 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.

Match26 Jul 2031

The goals have deserted Ceará

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Ceará can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad28 Jul 2031

Dieguinho 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market16 Jun 2031

Joseph Namatane 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 The request is on a desk at Ceará, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout16 Jun 2031

Assef keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Ceará may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad16 Jun 2031

A falling-out at Ceará

Vinicius Zanocelo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Jun 2031

Dieguinho 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.

Transfer targets16 Jun 2031

Flamengo tell Ceará: Evertton Araújo 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.

The dugout16 Jun 2031

The manager makes an example of João Soato

“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.

Squad16 Jun 2031

Too much change too quickly at Ceará

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets16 Jun 2031

A loan move for Marquinhos is in the works

Ceará have made the call to Cruzeiro. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad16 Jun 2031

Murilo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Murilo and Ceará agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The Santa Cruz Chronicle

17 Jun 2030
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad17 Jun 2030

Douglas breaks a bone — 61 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 61 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets17 Jun 2030

$3.8M settles it between the clubs for Tetê

Fluminense have accepted the money. What Santa Cruz do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Squad17 Jun 2030

Gabriel Souza stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match15 Jun 2030

The wait goes on for Santa Cruz

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match15 Jun 2030

The goals have deserted Santa Cruz

6 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Santa Cruz can tell you which week it ends in.

Market17 Jun 2030

Murilo asks to leave Santa Cruz

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout17 Jun 2030

Lysander Lucas keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Santa Cruz may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets17 Jun 2030

No thanks: Evertton Araújo rejects the move

Santa Cruz had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Flamengo, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad17 Jun 2030

Matheus Régis 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 Santa Cruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
