Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Rafael Milhorim

38 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Joinville lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Anderson beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 39. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Joinville bid $160.0K for Camutanga

The offer went to Vitória this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

André Dias 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 Joinville this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Lucas Sotero is slowing down

At 36, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Joinville

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Transfer targets

Joinville rebuffed over Samuel

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. América de Natal have kept their man, and Joinville go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Joinville come up short against Uberlândia

Uberlândia left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

A row about effort at Joinville

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and George Pitbull was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

In brief

  • Boardroom Wages swallow 110% of the Joinville income
  • The dugout No hiding place for Cauã
  • The dugout Marcos Souza answers for it

From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Filipe: 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.” Joinville have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Joinville say no — this time

The offer from Rio Branco for Antonio Porto was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

A move Fernando Antúnez would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Fernando Antúnez is living that version at Joinville, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

An offer of $120.0K for João Gadu

Joinville have gone to Ferroviária with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Tempers go at Joinville

André Dias 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.

Transfer targets

Joinville baulk at the price for Caio Araújo

Santos wanted more than $36.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Cauã signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Cauã and Joinville agree another 4 years.

Squad

Anderson 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 targets

A loan move for Jhonatan Lima is in the works

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