Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Age has not caught Aírton yet — 7.91
At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.91 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tempers go at Boa
Leandro Soares 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.

A bad afternoon for Boa against Paysandu
1‑2 to Paysandu, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Too much change too quickly at Boa
18 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.

Tiago Real stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Tiago Real and Boa agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A long bet from Boa on Gustavo Veiga
He is 20, and nobody at Boa signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

A long bet from Boa on Thiago Porto
He is 14, and nobody at Boa signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Boa buy the years ahead of Motorzinho
He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Boa sign Willian Nogueira, one for the future
Willian Nogueira is 16, and Boa have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
In brief
- Squad Boa pick somebody else ahead of Valsir
