The Nautico Courier
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Nathan scores twice — 8.10
Two goals and a mark of 8.10 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

A row about effort at Nautico
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Arnaldo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Muriel 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.

André Assis steps up from the Nautico academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. André Assis 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.

The game went through Yuri — 7.20
Marked 7.20 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.
Match12 Sep 2026
Nautico caught on 89 minutes
The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Criciuma scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.
Match12 Sep 2026
Nautico share the spoils with Criciuma
A 2‑2 draw with Criciuma leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Nobody could get near Reginaldo Lopes
Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Paulo Fernandes: “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 2‑2 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
