Squad24 Aug 2026

Matheus Cavichioli 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 Marcílio Dias this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match22 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Marcílio Dias against Itabirito

0‑1 to Itabirito, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Diego Ortiz is a square peg at Marcílio Dias

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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Maikon Aquino has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Marcílio Dias know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Maikon Aquino was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Marcílio Dias

9 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 dugout24 Aug 2026

Henrique Batista answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Diego Ortiz does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Looking ahead24 Aug 2026

Roldan faces his old club

Barra next, and one man in the Marcílio Dias dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

Marcílio Dias supporters have found a favourite in Miguel Silva

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Miguel Silva has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Market10 Aug 2026

Samuel Xavier steps up from the Marcílio Dias academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Samuel Xavier 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.

One of our own: Monstro joins the Marcílio Dias first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Monstro is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Rodrigo Gomes joins the Marcílio Dias first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rodrigo Gomes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Marcílio Dias promote Doidinho from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Doidinho has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match8 Aug 2026

Marcílio Dias get the job done against Uberlândia

A 1‑0 win over Uberlândia, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Miguel Silva was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.45. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Marcílio Dias

Miguel Silva 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 dugout10 Aug 2026

Henrique Batista has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Henrique Batista on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
