Match

Uberlândia cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

The step up is real for Tomás Álvarez Castillo

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

A falling-out at Uberlândia

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

Match

Uberlândia keep winning on the road

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Match

Uberlândia see off Joinville

Three points for Uberlândia, 1‑0 the final word against Joinville in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Ryan Santana stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.85 on the card, and the Uberlândia support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Uberlândia are still strangers to each other

11 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

A satisfied Cristiano Braga

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Cristiano Braga could afford to be generous.

The dugout

Jonatas Paulista gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jonatas Paulista is on it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Uberlândia

Djalma 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.

Market

One of our own: Artista joins the Uberlândia first team

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

Market

Perninha steps up from the Uberlândia academy

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

Market

The Davi story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Davi signs something — a contract at Uberlândia or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad

The training reports on Davi are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.

Squad

Djalma finally belongs at Uberlândia

The language has come, the shrug has gone, and he argues in training like a man who expects to be here next year. None of it shows up on a fee and all of it shows up on the pitch.

In brief
