Squad

Dênis Júnior signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dênis Júnior commits to Ferroviária for another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Ferroviária

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near João Victor

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Goiás take the points off Ferroviária

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Ferroviária promote Igor Mendes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Igor 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.

Market

Carlos Rocha steps up from the Ferroviária academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Carlos Rocha 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.

One of our own: Luiz Rodrigues joins the Ferroviária first team

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

The dugout

No hiding place for João Paulo

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

In brief
