Yair Arismendi 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 The request is on a desk at Bahia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match3 Jul 2028

Bahia are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 22 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Bahia count the cost of losing Everton Ribeiro

153 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings3 Jul 2028

Nobody could get near Erick Pulga

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market3 Jul 2028

Business is business: Fredi goes

Fluminense paid $2.8M and Bahia took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Caio Alexandre 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 Bahia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Jul 2028

Bahia see off Vasco da Gama

Three points for Bahia, 3‑2 the final word against Vasco da Gama in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings3 Jul 2028

Rodrigo Nestor in the eights

A performance of 8.97 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market3 Jul 2028

Rentistas expected to open talks for Román Gómez

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Bahia will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

The Fluminense Post

3 Jul 2028
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market3 Jul 2028

Fluminense get their man

The chase for Fredi ended with $2.8M changing hands and Bahia out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market3 Jul 2028

Daniel Fuzato hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Fluminense can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings3 Jul 2028

Nonato runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market3 Jul 2028

Carlos Coronel wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Fluminense hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Tempers go at Fluminense

Luciano Acosta 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.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Jonathan Bamba stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jonathan Bamba and Fluminense agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings3 Jul 2028

One of those days for Martinelli

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.09, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match1 Jul 2028

Fluminense see off Internacional

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

Player ratings3 Jul 2028

Rodrigo Castillo leaves them behind him

Shots: 12. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Bahia turn down Zamora for Román Gómez

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

João Paulo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bahia can pretend not to have heard.

Santa Cruz watching Ademir

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Bahia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

A masterclass from Caio Alexandre

Marked 8.53 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad19 Jun 2028

No hiding place for Gilberto

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gilberto, and the manager let it.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

Alejo Veliz keeps on missing

Shots: 13, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Match17 Jun 2028

Caio Alexandre rescues a point for Bahia

It needed Caio Alexandre to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Mirassol, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
