Squad

A fracture rules Gustavo Velázquez out for 75 days

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

Squad

Lucas Pereira 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 Brasil de Pelotas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Natan Costa 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.

Loan watch

Daniel Soares wants to come home

“I did not go to Altos to sit and watch. I want to come back to Brasil de Pelotas and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Brasil de Pelotas

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Tiago Farias has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Brasil de Pelotas will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief

  • Market Wesley Rocha linked with a move away
  • The dugout Natan Costa has been promised minutes
  • The terraces Supporters make their feelings known about Narigudo
  • Market The stand keeps filling up for Narigudo

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The step up is real for Gabriel Rocha

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Negrucci 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Altos

Diogo Cruz 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 139% of everything Altos earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

No place for Gabriel Rocha in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Altos are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market

A long bet from Altos on Gabriel Rocha

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

The dugout

Diogo Cruz is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Boardroom

Altos counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Altos now.

Market

Altos bring in Alberto Medina on loan

A season-long audition: Oriental still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Altos's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

28 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Altos are in real trouble now

Position 15, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

The dugout

Pedro Figueiredo says Altos 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.

Transfer targets

Carlão will not be coming to Altos

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Botafogo-SP is saying, and nobody at Altos is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Tempers go at Altos

Willyam Maranhão 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Altos

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

Transfer targets

Altos try to borrow Alberto Medina

Oriental have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Daniel Soares is in the works

Altos have made the call to Brasil de Pelotas. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

A long bet from Altos on Borges

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

Squad

Araujo is a square peg at Altos

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
