Squad

Felipe Saraiva breaks a bone — 120 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 120 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Charly Silva hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Maringá can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Words exchanged at Maringá

Paulinho 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

A row about effort at Maringá

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

The dugout

Rhuan 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 Rhuan trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Lucas Aruba linked with a move away

The name of Lucas Aruba keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Maringá say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Roberto Pereira 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 Roberto Pereira is on it.

Market

The shop window has Lucas Aruba in it

Maringá have let the market know Lucas Aruba can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market

Guarani send scouts to watch Marcus Vinicius

Two seats in the directors' box were spoken for, and the name in the notebook was Marcus Vinicius. Nothing has been offered yet.

Squad

Warlen 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 Maringá this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Cristovam signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Cristovam commits to Maringá for another 2 years.

Market

Talks stall between Maringá and Jhon Figueroa

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Squad

A row about effort at Maringá

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

The dugout

Robertinho 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 Robertinho is on it.

Market

The Rhuan talk will not go away

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

Squad

Cristovam out for 81 days

The medical room confirms 81 days on the sidelines for Cristovam, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Tempers go at Maringá

Paulinho 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.

The dugout

Rhuan knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Maringá, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Julio Rodrigues talk will not go away

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Charly Silva

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

The dugout

The manager makes Warlen a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Maringá. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market

Maringá put Julio Rodrigues up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Julio Rodrigues may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market

Still no ink between Maringá and Charly Silva

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Maringá, another week without a signature from Charly Silva.

Squad

Sebastián Ramírez remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Maringá would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

In brief

  • Squad The penny has dropped for Paulinho
  • The dugout The manager plants his flag on Lucas Aruba

Squad

An unwelcome headline for Hiago

He will be fined, he will apologise, and he will play on Saturday. The order of those three tells you everything about what a football club actually values.

Squad

A falling-out at Maringá

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

Squad

Sebastián Ramírez gets the move he always wanted

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

Market

Felipe Cavalcante steps up from the Maringá academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Felipe Cavalcante has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Voices raised on the Maringá training ground

Two players, one bad tackle and a session that had to be stopped. It was over in a minute; it was outside the gates in an hour.

Market

A long bet from Maringá on Charly Silva

He is 20, and nobody at Maringá signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
