Market

Guilherme Guimarães asks to leave Mixto

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Mixto

Vitor Leque 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.

Squad

Words at Mixto training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vinão 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.

The dugout

Marllon 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Mixto against Pouso Alegre

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

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines João Grilo for 15 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Mixto will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout

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 Rafael Rodrigues left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Joazi has to sit this one out

A booking nobody needed, on a night the game was already won. Mixto lose a player for the most avoidable reason there is.

The dugout

Vinão left out for tactical reasons at Mixto

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Boardroom

André Alves has until the next board meeting

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

Market

Jorge Rocha 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 The request is on a desk at Mixto, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words exchanged at Mixto

Joazi 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.

Squad

A move Luca Chişăreanu would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Luca Chişăreanu is living that version at Mixto, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom

$53.9K of the owner's money at Mixto

The shortfall was covered from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be relieved and entitled to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings usually arrive together.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Pedro Martins

Mixto asked and Manauara said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A row about effort at Mixto

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

Market

A stepping stone, not a home, for Guilherme Guimarães

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Mixto were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

Squad

Guilherme Guimarães is a square peg at Mixto

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
