Squad18 Oct 2027

Brabo breaks a bone — 19 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout18 Oct 2027

Lucas Perdomo says Maringá 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.

The dugout18 Oct 2027

Aderlan frozen out at Maringá

This is not rotation. Aderlan has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Maringá is pretending otherwise.

Squad18 Oct 2027

Julio 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 Maringá this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings18 Oct 2027

Agustín Sant'Anna runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad18 Oct 2027

A row about effort at Maringá

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

Market18 Oct 2027

Diego Riquelme is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Maringá has been clear about where Diego Riquelme stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout18 Oct 2027

Sérgio Mendes: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Squad18 Oct 2027

Bookings catch up with Agustín Sant'Anna

One yellow too many, and a match watched from the stand. The most avoidable absence in football, and Maringá will feel it on Saturday.

Market11 Oct 2027

Julio Rodrigues puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Maringá, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad11 Oct 2027

A fracture rules Brabo out for 26 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Maringá will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Julio Rodrigues frozen out at Maringá

This is not rotation. Julio Rodrigues has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Maringá is pretending otherwise.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Tempers go at Maringá

Julio 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.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Words at Maringá training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Guilherme Nunes 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.

Market11 Oct 2027

No place for Enzo Saggia in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Enzo Saggia has his answer from Maringá; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

When it matters, John Echavez plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Player of the week: Guilherme Pira

Somebody watched every match in the division at the weekend and decided he was the best thing in any of them. A small honour, and most careers end without one.

Player ratings4 Oct 2027

A brace, and Guilherme Pira takes the afternoon — 9.11

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Guilherme Pira provided it, and the 9.11 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Brabo breaks a bone — 33 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout4 Oct 2027

Matías Draghi: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Maringá have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad4 Oct 2027

Words exchanged at Maringá

Julio Rodrigues 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.

Match2 Oct 2027

Maringá get the job done against Ponte Preta

A 3‑2 win over Ponte Preta, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad4 Oct 2027

A row about effort at Maringá

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

Boardroom4 Oct 2027

Maringá beat the market to Francisco Montero from Juazeirense

Juazeirense will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Francisco Montero has pre-agreed a move to Maringá, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Player ratings4 Oct 2027

Agustín Sant'Anna runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A masterclass from Mateus Oliveira

Marked 8.41 — 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.

A fracture rules Brabo out for 41 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Maringá will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A falling-out at Maringá

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

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Nobody could get near Agustín Sant'Anna

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A row about effort at Maringá

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

Match25 Sep 2027

A bad afternoon for Maringá against Inter de Limeira

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

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Sérgio Mendes faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Sérgio Mendes after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Boardroom27 Sep 2027

92% of the income goes out in wages at Maringá

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Pedro das Neves left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Pedro das Neves will call it something else in private.

Squad20 Sep 2027

48 days out for Brabo after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Maringá will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match18 Sep 2027

Maringá end the wait against CSA

It had gone 11 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Player ratings20 Sep 2027

Agustín Sant'Anna beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match18 Sep 2027

Julio Rodrigues the difference as Maringá beat CSA

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Julio Rodrigues. 2‑1 against CSA, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces20 Sep 2027

The crowd has taken to John Echavez

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings20 Sep 2027

Julio Rodrigues was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.11. 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.
