Matheus Pereira 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 Cruzeiro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match24 Apr 2027

7 unbeaten for Cruzeiro

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Cruzeiro did not have in the autumn.

Nobody could get near Matheus Henrique

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Kaio Jorge 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.

Match24 Apr 2027

Matheus Pereira sends Cruzeiro past Sport Recife

It finished 2‑1, and it was Matheus Pereira’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Cruzeiro.

Gérson in the eights

A performance of 9.01 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Luis Sinisterra in the eights

A performance of 8.15 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Dunga stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Dunga and Cruzeiro agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Matheus Pereira is off the mark for Cruzeiro

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Matheus Henrique runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Cruzeiro

Lucas Romero 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.

As if he never left: Dunga returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Dunga is a Cruzeiro player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Market19 Apr 2027

Fernando Araujo is a Cruzeiro player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Antônio Silva is a Cruzeiro player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

As if he never left: Igor Soares returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Igor Soares is a Cruzeiro player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Match17 Apr 2027

Whatever happens, Cruzeiro 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.

Match17 Apr 2027

Cruzeiro see off Ceará

Three points for Cruzeiro, 2‑1 the final word against Ceará in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

One of those days for Luis Sinisterra

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

In brief

  • Player ratings A masterclass from Kaio Jorge
  • Player ratings One of those days for Gérson
  • Loan watch Danilo counts the days
