Match21 Apr 2029

Derby day misery for São Paulo

Losing 1‑2 is one thing; losing to Corinthians in a derby is a wound that takes months to close.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Words exchanged at São Paulo

Alan Franco 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.

Match21 Apr 2029

Nobody wins at São Paulo

9 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Rony 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 dugout23 Apr 2029

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 1‑2 Heinrich Winter left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout23 Apr 2029

Yeferson Soteldo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Yeferson Soteldo is on it.

Squad23 Apr 2029

Daniel Bezerra stays put

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

The dugout23 Apr 2029

Leonai Souza dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market23 Apr 2029

The Gonzalo Tapia question follows São Paulo around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Gonzalo Tapia’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market16 Apr 2029

Dudu asks to leave São Paulo

“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.

Squad16 Apr 2029

Domingos Duarte 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 Paulo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom16 Apr 2029

Graduation day at São Paulo

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market16 Apr 2029

São Paulo promote Carlos Ribeiro from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Carlos Ribeiro 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.

Market16 Apr 2029

One of our own: Eduardo Alves joins the São Paulo first team

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

Market16 Apr 2029

Daniel Bezerra steps up from the São Paulo academy

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

Looking ahead16 Apr 2029

Derby week at São Paulo

Corinthians next, which means a week that starts on Monday. Everything else on this page will be forgotten by Saturday; this fixture will not be forgotten for a year.

Boardroom16 Apr 2029

A promise the São Paulo board did not keep

There was a commitment, there was a date, and the date went past. Trust at a football club takes years to build and one afternoon to spend.

Squad16 Apr 2029

Danilo Gomes 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.
