Match28 Jul 2029

Goiânia tear Lagarto apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Lagarto, and it could have been more.

Player ratings30 Jul 2029

Gabriel Assis scores twice — 8.28

Two goals and a mark of 8.28 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings30 Jul 2029

Wesley Oliveira could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.27

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.27, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Player ratings30 Jul 2029

Eduardo Bezerra, 19, steals the show — 7.68

Marked 7.68 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Player ratings30 Jul 2029

Age has not caught Lázaro Romero yet — 7.92

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.92 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market30 Jul 2029

Wendel Bahia 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 Goiânia can pretend not to have heard.

Market30 Jul 2029

Only the photograph left for Arthur Queiroz

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Arthur Queiroz will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Goiânia the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom30 Jul 2029

Goiânia to lose Arthur Queiroz for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Arthur Queiroz has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad30 Jul 2029

Real improvement from Guga at Goiânia

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Guga is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad7 May 2029

The knee: Fernando Neto out for 20 days

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

Squad7 May 2029

A fracture rules Gabriel Assis out for 27 days

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

Market7 May 2029

Gaku Tomiyasu asks to leave Goiânia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad7 May 2029

Words exchanged at Goiânia

Lázaro Romero 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.

Match5 May 2029

Goiânia come up short against Sergipe

Sergipe left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad7 May 2029

Words at Goiânia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Federico Moreno 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.

The dugout7 May 2029

The manager makes an example of João Vitor

“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.

The dugout7 May 2029

Felipe Cavalcante answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout7 May 2029

Daniel Costa 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 Daniel Costa is on it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad29 Jan 2029

The knee: Júnior Oliveira out for 92 days

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

Market29 Jan 2029

Luiz Henrique asks to leave Goiânia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Lázaro Romero 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 Goiânia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Federico Moreno 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 dugout29 Jan 2029

Arthur Queiroz frozen out at Goiânia

This is not rotation. Arthur Queiroz has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Goiânia is pretending otherwise.

Squad29 Jan 2029

Guga signs on for more

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

The dugout29 Jan 2029

The manager makes an example of David Medina

“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.

Market29 Jan 2029

The Gabriel Assis story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Gabriel Assis signs something — a contract at Goiânia or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market29 Jan 2029

Goiânia put Gabriel Ferreira up for sale

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

In brief
