Squad26 Mar 2029

Tempers go at Monte Azul

Gui Sales 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.

Words at Monte Azul training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Wallace 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.

Boardroom26 Mar 2029

Wages swallow 135% of the Monte Azul income

Every club 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 it has been tried.

The dugout26 Mar 2029

Davi Samuel knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Monte Azul, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Zuconelli linked with a move away

The name of Zuconelli keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Monte Azul say nothing, which says plenty.

Market26 Mar 2029

Monte Azul put Rian Felipe up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Rian Felipe may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

The clock does Alex Rangel’s negotiating for him

4 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Monte Azul could ask drops and the wages Alex Rangel can ask rise.

Boardroom26 Mar 2029

Monte Azul keep producing them

23 graduates from an academy now rated 5 out of 20. A club this size does not survive any other way, and every name on that list is known in the town.

The manager plants his flag on Ruan Carlos

“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Ruan Carlos’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.

Squad17 Apr 2028

The knee: Ruan Carlos out for 27 days

27 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Monte Azul lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout17 Apr 2028

Davi Samuel: 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.” Monte Azul have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The dugout17 Apr 2028

Wallace frozen out at Monte Azul

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

Tempers go at Monte Azul

Ruan Carlos 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.

Boardroom17 Apr 2028

5 academy graduates step up at Monte Azul

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

One of our own: Éder Bezerra joins the Monte Azul first team

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

Market17 Apr 2028

Renato Mendes steps up from the Monte Azul academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Renato Mendes 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.

Monte Azul promote Vinícius Carvalho from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Vinícius Carvalho 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.

Monte Azul promote Luís Silva from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luís Silva 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.
