Squad7 Mar 2033

A knee injury of the worst kind for Juan Cruz Meza

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

Squad7 Mar 2033

Home is on Filip Bundgaard's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Corinthians are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad7 Mar 2033

Words exchanged at Corinthians

Kauã Brasília 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.

Loan watch7 Mar 2033

André Machado has seen enough of Capital

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Corinthians, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad7 Mar 2033

Corinthians take the armband off Gustavo Mantuan

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

The dugout7 Mar 2033

Mateo Ponte has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Corinthians will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Boardroom7 Feb 2033

Corinthians put Roberto Nardo on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Boardroom7 Feb 2033

Emergency meeting at Corinthians

The whole football department in one room on a weekday morning. Nothing was announced afterwards, which is what a board announces when it has run out of patience.

Squad7 Feb 2033

A move Vitinho 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. Vitinho is living that version at Corinthians, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad7 Feb 2033

Gustavo Mantuan signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gustavo Mantuan and Corinthians agree another 3 years.

Market7 Feb 2033

Kaique Kenji wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Corinthians hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad7 Feb 2033

Matheus Reis wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Corinthians know it.

Squad7 Feb 2033

Matheus Reis 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 Corinthians this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch7 Feb 2033

André Machado counts the days

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

The dugout7 Feb 2033

The manager's exit leaves Robert Renan exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Robert Renan is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

Market27 Dec 2032

Not going: Valentín Cabrejas stays at Capital

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Ypiranga had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market27 Dec 2032

Ko Suzuki asks to leave Capital

“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 targets27 Dec 2032

Felipe due for a Capital medical

Everything agreed with América de Natal, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad27 Dec 2032

Deijair 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 Capital this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad27 Dec 2032

A row about effort at Capital

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

Transfer targets27 Dec 2032

Door shut on Matheus Emiliano

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

Boardroom27 Dec 2032

The borrowing at Capital reaches $8.5M

Past the limit the bank set, which is the line between a club being financed and a club being in trouble. $8.5M is now the number every conversation about this club will start with.

Transfer targets27 Dec 2032

Capital ask about André Machado

A loan enquiry to Corinthians: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout27 Dec 2032

Henrique Lima 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 Henrique Lima is on it.
