Squad24 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Ituano

Marlon Yan 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Ituano

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

Internacional tell Ituano: Emerson Urso is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Lucas Rius signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lucas Rius and Ituano agree another 3 years.

Loan watch24 Jan 2028

Dudu counts the days

“I watch every Ituano game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Chapecoense runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

When it matters, Marthã 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.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

No hiding place for Lucas Rius

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

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Gustavo Miranda knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Gustavo Miranda trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market24 Jan 2028

The Gabriel Razera talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Ituano know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Player ratings19 Jul 2027

Gustavo Miranda, 20, steals the show — 7.61

Marked 7.61 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Willian Formiga will not be coming to Ituano

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Vila Nova is saying, and nobody at Ituano is enjoying the guessing.

Match17 Jul 2027

Nobody wants to play Ituano right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings19 Jul 2027

Alason Carioca beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match17 Jul 2027

Ituano are at home on the road

4 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Lucas Rius gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Lucas Rius has just signed for Ituano, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Words at Ituano training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. John Kennedy 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.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Door shut on Jefinho

Ituano asked and Alashkert said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Guilherme Dal Pian 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 Ituano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
