Market31 Aug 2026

Urartu come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Fluminense did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Fluminense

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

Match29 Aug 2026

Whatever happens, Fluminense do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Luciano Acosta was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Jemmes

“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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Fluminense

12 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.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Alisson dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Vitor Tavares chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Yeferson Soteldo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Yeferson Soteldo is on it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match12 Aug 2026

Fluminense march on in the cup

America Mineiro are out and Fluminense go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

John Kennedy was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market17 Aug 2026

Keven Samuel turns Gabala down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Vintage Hulk — 8.01

At 40 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.01, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Fluminense

Thiago Silva 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Jefferson Savarino 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.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Julián Millán gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Yeferson Soteldo

7.98, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Fluminense had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Match15 Aug 2026

Fluminense and Vitória take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
