Squad

The knee: Diogo Barbosa out for 105 days

105 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Juventude lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

A fracture rules Rodrigo Sam out for 31 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Juventude will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout

Raí: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Juventude have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Juventude

Lucas Mineiro 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.

Squad

Words at Juventude training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alan Ruschel is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Rafael Rech told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Rafael Rech has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Juventude.

Market

Marcos Paulo linked with a move away

The name of Marcos Paulo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Juventude say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

When it matters, Davi Góes 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.

Market

Luiz Mandaca placed on the list

Juventude have made Luiz Mandaca available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

Diogo Barbosa damages knee ligaments — 138 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 138 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Rodrigo Sam 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.

The dugout

Gabriel Taliari 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Juventude

Gabriel Taliari 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.

Squad

The dugout

Ruan Carneiro: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Juventude have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

The Dila deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Caíque reports back to Juventude with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

A falling-out at Juventude

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

Market

João Scatolin attracts admirers

The name of João Scatolin has come up in conversations Juventude were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Diogo Barbosa 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 dugout

No hiding place for Ari Moura

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

Market

Marcos Paulo linked with a move away

The name of Marcos Paulo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Juventude say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Davi Góes 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 Davi Góes is on it.

The dugout

Gabriel Taliari 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 Gabriel Taliari has written the date down.
