Marked for Guga

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad6 Dec 2027

The knee: Guga out for 21 days

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

Match4 Dec 2027

No mercy from Coritiba

Criciúma will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Coritiba were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match6 Dec 2027

Coritiba are in real trouble now

Position 18, 38 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match6 Dec 2027

The season ends: position 18 for Coritiba

The last league game has been played and the table has stopped moving: 38 points. The summer begins on Monday, and so does the argument about what it all meant.

Squad6 Dec 2027

A one-man rearguard from Charles

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.

Player ratings6 Dec 2027

Sebastián Gómez scores twice — 8.50

Two goals and a mark of 8.50 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market6 Dec 2027

Brandão asks to leave Coritiba

“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.

Transfer targets6 Dec 2027

Coritiba bid $3.6M for Gabriel Feliciano

The offer went to Ferroviária 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.

Player ratings6 Dec 2027

Age has not caught Bruno Melo yet — 7.97

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.97 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

The terraces29 Nov 2027

Supporters organise against the Coritiba board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad29 Nov 2027

The knee: Guga out for 28 days

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

Match27 Nov 2027

Coritiba taken apart

0‑3 to Flamengo, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Khensane is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Coritiba

Crystopher 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.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Breno Lopes

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Words at Coritiba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jhonata Robert 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.

Looking ahead29 Nov 2027

Everything rides on Criciúma

Both clubs in the mire, one fixture between them, and a ground that will be louder and more frightened than at any point in the season. Coritiba know what is at stake and so does everybody in the away end.

Loan watch29 Nov 2027

Rafael William’s loan is measured in nothing happening

12 clean sheets from 34 appearances at Amazonas. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.

In brief
