The terraces26 Apr 2027

Supporters organise against the Itabaiana 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.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Álvaro Cabrera breaks a bone — 40 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 40 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Luiz Borges damages knee ligaments — 14 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match24 Apr 2027

The wait goes on for Itabaiana

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Itabaiana

Dodô 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.

Match24 Apr 2027

A bad afternoon for Itabaiana against Capital

0‑1 to Capital, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Jhonnatha gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Alex Araujo: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Caíque was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad19 Apr 2027

47 days out for Álvaro Cabrera after a fracture

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

Squad19 Apr 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luiz Borges

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

Match17 Apr 2027

No end in sight to Itabaiana's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Itabaiana has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Jhonnatha says Itabaiana went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market19 Apr 2027

Only the photograph left for Juninho

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

Squad19 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Itabaiana

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

Squad19 Apr 2027

Words at Itabaiana training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Ghigliazza 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.

Loan watch19 Apr 2027

Alex Rangel counts the days

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

Match17 Apr 2027

Honours even between Itabaiana and Maricá

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A fracture rules Álvaro Cabrera out for 54 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Itabaiana will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luiz Borges

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

Squad12 Apr 2027

Dodô 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 Itabaiana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Douglas Tavares frozen out at Itabaiana

This is not rotation. Douglas Tavares has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Itabaiana is pretending otherwise.

Market12 Apr 2027

Diego Moreira steps up from the Itabaiana academy

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

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words at Itabaiana training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Douglas Tavares 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.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Álvaro Cabrera breaks a bone — 62 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 62 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Luiz Borges damages knee ligaments — 36 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 36 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom5 Apr 2027

Alex Araujo has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Itabaiana can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Itabaiana

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

The dugout5 Apr 2027

Kevin Ghigliazza is still paying for one afternoon at Itabaiana

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Fernando Ceará loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Fernando Ceará. Itabaiana will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Álvaro Cabrera breaks a bone — 93 days out

Squad8 Mar 2027

Marcílio signs on for more

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

Squad8 Mar 2027

Market8 Mar 2027

Itabaiana promote Ronny from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ronny 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.

Market8 Mar 2027

One of our own: Luiz Borges joins the Itabaiana first team

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

The dugout8 Mar 2027

Kevin Ghigliazza is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

Dodô loses the manager who believed in him

A change in the dugout is not one story, it is twenty-five of them. This is Dodô's: he was somebody's player, and now he has to be somebody else's, starting from nothing.
