A knee injury of the worst kind for Daniel Aguilar
51 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Juventude lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Words at Juventude training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emerson Júnior 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.

Juventude beat the market to Demian Rea from Mirassol
Mirassol will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Demian Rea has pre-agreed a move to Juventude, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Words exchanged at Juventude
João Ananias 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.

The João Scatolin question follows Juventude around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with João Scatolin’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
The dugout24 Jan 2033
When it matters, Nino Molenaar plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
The dugout24 Jan 2033
The manager makes Nino Molenaar a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Juventude. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
Market24 Jan 2033
Caio Silva leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Caio Silva leaves Juventude the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

The Juventude production line keeps running
60 graduates out of an academy now rated 7 out of 20. Clubs this size survive on exactly that, and the town knows every name.
In brief
- Market Still no signature from Paim
- Squad Pablo Thomaz has settled at Juventude
- Match Nothing left to play for but pride at Juventude
