Squad9 Jun 2031

A knee injury of the worst kind for Vinícius Pereira

17 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mirassol lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match7 Jun 2031

The wait goes on for Mirassol

9 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match7 Jun 2031

Nowhere to hide for Mirassol

0‑3 against Cruzeiro, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market9 Jun 2031

Rafael Monteiro agrees terms with Oeste

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Mirassol people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets9 Jun 2031

No thanks: Esquerdinha rejects the move

Mirassol had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Ceará, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad9 Jun 2031

Tempers go at Mirassol

Rodrigues 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.

Match7 Jun 2031

The goals have deserted Mirassol

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Mirassol can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad9 Jun 2031

A row about effort at Mirassol

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

Boardroom9 Jun 2031

Mirassol agree a free transfer for Sebastián Ciganda

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

In brief

  • The dugout No hiding place for Yago Souza
  • Squad Lucas signs a new deal
  • Boardroom Nobody left the Mirassol dressing room in a hurry

Squad2 Jun 2031

Vinícius Pereira damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 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.

Squad2 Jun 2031

A one-man rearguard from Luiz Felipe

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match31 May 2031

No end in sight to Mirassol's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mirassol has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad2 Jun 2031

Rodrigues 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 Mirassol this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Jun 2031

Words at Mirassol training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Shaylon 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.

Match31 May 2031

The goals have deserted Mirassol

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Mirassol can tell you which week it ends in.

Match31 May 2031

Fluminense take the points off Mirassol

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout2 Jun 2031

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.

Transfer targets2 Jun 2031

A loan move for Przemysław Płacheta is in the works

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

In brief
