Match4 Jul 2029

The cup run ends for Bragantino

0‑2 against Cruzeiro, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market9 Jul 2029

Terms done: Miqueias is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Santos waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Bragantino is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad9 Jul 2029

20 days out for Igor Costa after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Bragantino will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets9 Jul 2029

Bragantino bid $5.8M for Bruninho

The offer went to Atlético Mineiro this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market9 Jul 2029

Only the photograph left for Camilo Salamanca

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Camilo Salamanca will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bragantino the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Douglas Borel gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Douglas Borel has just signed for Bragantino, and for once the answer mattered.

Market9 Jul 2029

Fintelman puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bragantino, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom9 Jul 2029

Camilo Salamanca signs for Vasco da Gama while still at Bragantino

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Camilo Salamanca has agreed terms with Vasco da Gama for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad9 Jul 2029

A falling-out at Bragantino

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

Squad2 Jul 2029

29 days out for Igor Costa after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Bragantino will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market2 Jul 2029

Bragantino say no — this time

The offer from Juventude for Praxedes was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad2 Jul 2029

A falling-out at Bragantino

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

Squad2 Jul 2029

Eduardo Sasha signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Eduardo Sasha and Bragantino agree another 2 years.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Juninho Capixaba falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout2 Jul 2029

No hiding place for Dodi

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

Player ratings2 Jul 2029

The afternoon belonged to José Hurtado

A mark of 7.65, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Boardroom2 Jul 2029

Intake day at the Bragantino academy

7 arrivals, an average age nobody would call a squad, and a set of parents being shown around a building their sons will spend more time in than at home. The scouting has already happened; today is only the paperwork.

The dugout2 Jul 2029

Thiago Borbas has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Bragantino will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad25 Jun 2029

The knee: Doutor out for 16 days

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

Squad25 Jun 2029

Igor Costa breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings25 Jun 2029

José María Herrera runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout25 Jun 2029

Yuri Alves: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Bragantino have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom25 Jun 2029

Alex Nascimento signs for Internacional while still at Bragantino

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Alex Nascimento has agreed terms with Internacional for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad25 Jun 2029

Words exchanged at Bragantino

José Hurtado 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.

Squad25 Jun 2029

Juninho Capixaba falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match23 Jun 2029

Bragantino find a way past Vitória

Vitória made Bragantino work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings25 Jun 2029

Ninety minutes of Gustavo Neves at his very best

Marked 8.19. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bragantino.
