The knee: Juan David Viáfara out for 108 days

108 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mirassol lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Boardroom3 Mar 2036

The caretaker keeps it: Interim Coach confirmed

A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

Match3 Mar 2036

Every point is an argument now for Mirassol

Position 19 and 30 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market3 Mar 2036

Iván Duarte 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 Mirassol can pretend not to have heard.

Market3 Mar 2036

Only the photograph left for Marcelo Costa

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

Squad3 Mar 2036

A falling-out at Mirassol

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

Squad3 Mar 2036

Words at Mirassol training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bruno Altamiranda 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.

Market3 Mar 2036

Still no ink between Mirassol and Hyan

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Mirassol, another week without a signature from Hyan.

Squad3 Mar 2036

Dunga is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Dunga has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Boardroom31 Dec 2035

Pressure builds in the Mirassol boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad31 Dec 2035

A move Lucas Costa 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. Lucas Costa is living that version at Mirassol, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market31 Dec 2035

Only the photograph left for Marcelo Costa

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

Market31 Dec 2035

Business is business: Wesley Lima goes

Athletico Paranaense paid $1.3M and Mirassol took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad31 Dec 2035

Words exchanged at Mirassol

Rodrigo Rodrigues 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.

Market31 Dec 2035

Mirassol get their man

The chase for Alberto ended with $100.0K changing hands and Inter de Limeira out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market31 Dec 2035

Business is business: Kauã Rodrigo goes

Boavista paid $300.0K and Mirassol took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets31 Dec 2035

Door shut on Diego Ribeiro

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

Squad31 Dec 2035

A row about effort at Mirassol

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