Squad6 Mar 2028

Trator damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market6 Mar 2028

Jhonata Robert wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Criciúma hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Marcelo Hermes signs a new deal

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

Squad6 Mar 2028

Words at Criciúma training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jeremy Agbonifo 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 dugout6 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Luciano Castán

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

Squad6 Mar 2028

Words exchanged at Criciúma

Kauã 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.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

Eduardo asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market6 Mar 2028

The Marcinho question follows Criciúma around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Marcinho’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout6 Mar 2028

The manager makes Jhonata Robert a promise

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

Squad28 Feb 2028

The knee: Trator out for 30 days

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

Market28 Feb 2028

Marcinho raises the bar for Criciúma

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Criciúma heard it as anything else.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Words exchanged at Criciúma

Jeremy Agbonifo 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.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Home is on Oluwasegun Otusanya's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Criciúma are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout28 Feb 2028

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

Squad28 Feb 2028

Fabricio 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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

The knee: Trator out for 38 days

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

Market21 Feb 2028

Gui Lobo is on his way

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

Squad21 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Criciúma

Jeremy Agbonifo 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.

Squad21 Feb 2028

Hiago Alves 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.

Market21 Feb 2028

The shop window has Waguininho in it

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

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad5 Apr 2027

Eliel breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad5 Apr 2027

The step up is real for Rodrigo Haruki

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.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Nicolas is slowing down

At 37, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Trator

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Criciúma will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Loan watch5 Apr 2027

Fabricio wants to come home

“I did not go to Sergipe to sit and watch. I want to come back to Criciúma and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 14 matches say the rest.

The dugout5 Apr 2027

No hiding place for Sandry

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

Diego Gonçalves asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout5 Apr 2027

Fellipe Mateus has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Criciúma 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.

Market5 Apr 2027

The shop window has Yuri Tanque in it

Criciúma have let the market know Yuri Tanque can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
