Marked for Monstro

Squad24 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Monstro

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Grêmio lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market24 May 2027

Cristian Olivera hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Grêmio can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 May 2027

A day Carlos Vinícius will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings24 May 2027

Age has not caught Martin Braithwaite yet — 7.85

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.85 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match22 May 2027

Carlos Vinícius among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Carlos Vinícius on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Grêmio and Coritiba.

Match22 May 2027

Carlos Vinícius the difference as Grêmio beat Coritiba

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Carlos Vinícius. 4‑2 against Coritiba, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings24 May 2027

One of those days for Carlos Vinícius

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.62, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad24 May 2027

A row about effort at Grêmio

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

The dugout24 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Weverton

“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.

Squad17 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Monstro

26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Grêmio lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market17 May 2027

Hyoran 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 Grêmio, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout17 May 2027

Camilo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Grêmio may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market17 May 2027

Benjamin is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Grêmio is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match15 May 2027

Grêmio end the wait against Bahia

It had gone 6 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Squad17 May 2027

Juan Ignacio Nardoni 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.

Match15 May 2027

Grêmio see off Bahia

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

Loan watch17 May 2027

Lucca counts the days

“I watch every Grêmio game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Parnahyba runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings17 May 2027

Nobody on the pitch touched Martin Braithwaite

7.69, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Grêmio had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
