Match17 May 2028

The small margins put São José out

Out, 0‑3 to ABC, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The terraces22 May 2028

São José are taken apart by ABC — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Squad22 May 2028

A falling-out at São José

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

Match20 May 2028

São José come up short against Itabirito

Itabirito left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout22 May 2028

Samuel Moreira frozen out at São José

This is not rotation. Samuel Moreira has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at São José is pretending otherwise.

Squad22 May 2028

Words at São José training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Doda Silva 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.

Player ratings22 May 2028

Arthur Martins beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Boardroom22 May 2028

Inquest at São José

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout22 May 2028

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Roberto Nogueira left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Words exchanged at São José

Pedro Lucas 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Rafael Martins 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Sinistro stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Sinistro and São José agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Feliphe Gabriel in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at São José this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets10 Jan 2028

São José rebuffed over Fabrício

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. São Paulo have kept their man, and São José go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market10 Jan 2028

São José promote Sinistro from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sinistro 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.

Market10 Jan 2028

Sérgio Cunha steps up from the São José academy

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

Rodriguinho steps up from the São José academy

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

São José promote Tiago Fonseca from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tiago Fonseca 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.

The dugout10 Jan 2028

No hiding place for Thiago Quiñonez

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

The terraces10 Jan 2028

The stands have heard the Claudio Escobar talk too

What was a back-page story is now a matter for the terraces, and the terraces do not do nuance. São José would like it dealt with before it becomes the only question anybody asks.
