Match30 Oct 2027

Atlético Mineiro run riot against Criciúma

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings1 Nov 2027

Both of them Thiago Borbas's — 8.89

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.89, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

Murillo says Atlético Mineiro went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market1 Nov 2027

Wanderson has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Atlético Mineiro they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Words exchanged at Atlético Mineiro

Mateo Cassierra 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.

Loan watch1 Nov 2027

Robert’s loan is measured in nothing happening

16 clean sheets from 33 appearances at Athletic Club. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.

Player ratings1 Nov 2027

Tomás Cuello in the eights

A performance of 8.28 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Loan watch1 Nov 2027

The goals keep arriving from Daniel Penha’s exile

12 goals in 32 games at Avaí — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Atlético Mineiro updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

A promise honoured for Mateo Cassierra

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Atlético Mineiro told Mateo Cassierra something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Xavier has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Atlético Mineiro they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad11 Oct 2027

A falling-out at Atlético Mineiro

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

Squad11 Oct 2027

A row about effort at Atlético Mineiro

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

The dugout11 Oct 2027

Everson 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 Everson is on it.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

A promise honoured for Bruno Henrique

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Atlético Mineiro told Bruno Henrique something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Loan watch11 Oct 2027

8 goals on loan for Kawê

24 appearances at Lagarto and the goals keep coming. Atlético Mineiro are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Market11 Oct 2027

Alan Minda told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Alan Minda has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Atlético Mineiro.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

The manager makes an example of Murillo

“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.

Loan watch11 Oct 2027

The goals keep arriving from Fred’s exile

7 goals in 22 games at Guarani — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Atlético Mineiro updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Match21 Jul 2027

Atlético Mineiro bow out of the cup

Mirassol go through and Atlético Mineiro go home, 1‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

A brace, and Mateo Cassierra takes the afternoon — 8.73

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mateo Cassierra provided it, and the 8.73 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Tomás Pochettino will not be coming to Atlético Mineiro

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Fortaleza is saying, and nobody at Atlético Mineiro is enjoying the guessing.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

No sign of nerves from Murillo at 21 — 7.95

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Murillo did not need any: 7.95, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Deadline passes with 6 signed and 12 gone

That is the business done at Atlético Mineiro until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Nilson Castrillón gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Nilson Castrillón has just signed for Atlético Mineiro, and for once the answer mattered.

Market26 Jul 2027

Vitor Gabriel is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Atlético Mineiro is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Mateo Cassierra 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 Atlético Mineiro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

Raí Ramos was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
