Squad18 Sep 2028

The knee: André Alves out for 17 days

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

Market18 Sep 2028

Diego Viana asks to leave Sousa

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings18 Sep 2028

Kaio Ganga, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.64

A mark of 7.64 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad18 Sep 2028

A falling-out at Sousa

Ítalo Henrique and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad18 Sep 2028

A row about effort at Sousa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lucas Poletto was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout18 Sep 2028

The manager makes an example of Carlos Rivas

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match16 Sep 2028

Sousa caught on 89 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then América de Natal scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Player ratings18 Sep 2028

Silvio López runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match16 Sep 2028

Honours even between Sousa and América de Natal

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad22 May 2028

Diego Viana damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match17 May 2028

Sousa out of the cup

Volta Redonda ended it 2‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad22 May 2028

A one-man rearguard from Franco Grigera

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad22 May 2028

A row about effort at Sousa

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Natalício was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match20 May 2028

Sousa come up short against Jequié

Jequié left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings22 May 2028

The game went through Juan Fernando Garro — 6.92

Marked 6.92 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.

Squad22 May 2028

A falling-out at Sousa

Luís Eduardo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match17 May 2028

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 122 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Sousa had all but put away. Volta Redonda will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Player ratings22 May 2028

Jean Sales fails from the spot

Twelve yards and the whole ground holding its breath, and it did not go in. He will put his name down for the next one, which is the only thing to do.

In brief
