7 matches without a win for Guarani
The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Guarani are no longer polite ones.

Agustín Lara has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Guarani they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Trator says Guarani went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

A falling-out at Guarani
Lucas Barbosa and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Rômulo 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.

Marcos Paulo was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 20. 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.

One of their own: Thiago Martínez
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

A masterclass from Thiago Martínez
Marked 8.09 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
The dugout17 Sep 2029
No hiding place for Matheus Henrique
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Matheus Henrique, and the manager let it.
In brief
- Squad Guarani lose Danilo Teixeira
- Market Lucas Barbosa placed on the list
- Match Guarani and Náutico take a point apiece
