Jandrei keeps Juventude in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

No end in sight to Juventude's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Juventude has to find a result from somewhere.

Tempers go at Juventude
Gabriel Taliari 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.
Boardroom19 Apr 2027
5 academy players handed senior numbers at Juventude
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

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

One of our own: Matheus Rocha joins the Juventude first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matheus Rocha is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Juventude promote Caio Guimarães from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Caio Guimarães 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.

One of our own: Tiago Lopes joins the Juventude first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Tiago Lopes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
