Words exchanged at Juazeirense

João Grilo 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.

Adauto Júnior has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Adauto Júnior has written the date down.

The Léo Godo story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Léo Godo signs something — a contract at Juazeirense or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Match26 Sep 2026

Whatever happens, Juazeirense do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Patrick was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. 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.

Anderson Carvalho takes the honours

Marked 7.55 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Juazeirense had the best player on the pitch.

André Mendes signs on for more

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Juazeirense

Caio Cunha 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.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Fernando Monteiro: “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.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Thalyson

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The division's best last weekend was a Juazeirense man

It is a small honour and it is not nothing: somebody watched every match in the division and decided that Derlis Ortiz was the best thing in any of them.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Lorran shuts the door

Defensive actions: 13, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Gato keeps Juazeirense in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 16 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match8 Aug 2026

A hiding for Juazeirense

Beaten 0‑8 by Santa Cruz, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match8 Aug 2026

8 goals as Juazeirense and Santa Cruz go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Juazeirense and Santa Cruz, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

One of our own: Gato joins the Juazeirense first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Gato is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Luís Lima steps up from the Juazeirense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Luís Lima has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Juazeirense promote André Mendes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. André Mendes has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Juazeirense promote Thiago Cunha from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Thiago Cunha has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

No hiding place for Marlon

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marlon, and the manager let it.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Juazeirense dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
