Market17 Dec 2035

Uberlândia say no — this time

The offer from Porto Vitória for Renato Cavalcante was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market17 Dec 2035

Daniel Machado asks to leave Uberlândia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad17 Dec 2035

A falling-out at Uberlândia

Rubens and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets17 Dec 2035

Door shut on Richy

Uberlândia asked and Palmeiras said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market17 Dec 2035

Imperatriz watching Maestro

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Uberlândia have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout17 Dec 2035

Careca gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad17 Dec 2035

Danilo Mendes signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Danilo Mendes commits to Uberlândia for another 3 years.

Boardroom17 Dec 2035

Wages eat 90% of everything Uberlândia 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.

Transfer targets17 Dec 2035

Uberlândia try to borrow Richy

Palmeiras 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.

Match9 Jun 2035

No mercy from Uberlândia

Azuriz will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Uberlândia were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings11 Jun 2035

A brace, and Juan Carlos takes the afternoon — 8.48

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Juan Carlos provided it, and the 8.48 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings11 Jun 2035

Both of them Joãozinho's — 8.31

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.31, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market11 Jun 2035

Maestro agrees terms with Sousa

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

Market11 Jun 2035

Arthur Mendes asks to leave Uberlândia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match9 Jun 2035

Nobody wants to play Uberlândia right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad11 Jun 2035

Tempers go at Uberlândia

Jorge Pinto 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.

Match9 Jun 2035

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Uberlândia and Azuriz in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Transfer targets11 Jun 2035

Santos tell Uberlândia: Matheus Ferreira is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market14 Aug 2034

Renato Cavalcante is on his way

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

Squad14 Aug 2034

Words exchanged at Uberlândia

Juan Carlos 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.

Match12 Aug 2034

A bad afternoon for Uberlândia against Confiança

0‑2 to Confiança, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad14 Aug 2034

Pedro Leonardo 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.

Match12 Aug 2034

Confiança end the Uberlândia run at 4

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 4 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad14 Aug 2034

Danilo Mendes signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Danilo Mendes and Uberlândia agree another 3 years.

Market14 Aug 2034

Still no ink between Uberlândia and Caio Figueiredo

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Uberlândia, another week without a signature from Caio Figueiredo.

The dugout14 Aug 2034

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 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.

Squad14 Aug 2034

Too much change too quickly at Uberlândia

6 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.

In brief
