Market

Vitor Roque raises the bar for Palmeiras

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Palmeiras heard it as anything else.

Squad

Paulinho 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.

Squad

Renê signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Renê and Palmeiras agree another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Palmeiras

Juliano 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.

The dugout

Carlos Miguel 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 Carlos Miguel is on it.

Squad

A step back for Renê at Palmeiras

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.

Market

Carlos Miguel linked with a move away

The name of Carlos Miguel keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Palmeiras say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Agustín Giay asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Murilo has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Murilo has written the date down.

Match

Cup progress for Palmeiras

A 4‑1 win over Cruzeiro, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

Palmeiras make it 8 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Palmeiras have 8 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Both of them Vitor Roque's — 8.38

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.38, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Felipe Anderson yet — 8.21

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.21 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings

Marlon Freitas goes up and wins it — 7.66

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.66 for the rest of it.

Squad

A falling-out at Palmeiras

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

Match

Palmeiras see off Grêmio

Three points for Palmeiras, 2‑1 the final word against Grêmio in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Gustavo Gómez

“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.

The terraces

Palmeiras supporters have found a favourite in Juliano

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 18-year-old it feels ownership of. Juliano has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
