Marked for Willian Assis

The Ponte Preta Post

26 Jun 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad26 Jun 2028

Juan Alano breaks a bone — 19 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Willian Assis damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 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 Jun 2028

Cruel end for ABC as Ponte Preta pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Ponte Preta scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market26 Jun 2028

Jonathan Cafu 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 Ponte Preta can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings26 Jun 2028

Up for the corner, and Gustavo Telles delivers — 7.87

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Gustavo Telles scored, was marked 7.87, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market26 Jun 2028

Ponte Preta say no — this time

The offer from ASA for Vinícius Ferrari was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market26 Jun 2028

Only the photograph left for Elson Mosquera

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Elson Mosquera will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Ponte Preta the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

The paperwork begins on Luiz Araújo

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Ponte Preta have done the hard part with Cruzeiro, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

Zurich tell Ponte Preta: Warleson is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The Ponte Preta Post

19 Jun 2028
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad19 Jun 2028

28 days out for Juan Alano after a fracture

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

Squad19 Jun 2028

The knee: Willian Assis out for 26 days

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

Market19 Jun 2028

Ponte Preta turn down Raków Częstochowa for Rodrigo Saravia

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Fee done, terms next for Daniel Fuzato

Ponte Preta and Vasco da Gama have settled on $1.2M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

The dugout19 Jun 2028

Willian Oliveira keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Ponte Preta may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

The paperwork begins on Allam Wlk

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Ponte Preta have done the hard part with Independiente, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Match17 Jun 2028

The wait goes on for Ponte Preta

4 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.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Door shut on Andreas Pereira

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

Market19 Jun 2028

ASA watching Vinícius Ferrari

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Ponte Preta have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad12 Jun 2028

35 days out for Juan Alano after a fracture

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

Squad12 Jun 2028

Willian Assis damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 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.

The dugout12 Jun 2028

Jean Carlos says Ponte Preta 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.

Match10 Jun 2028

Ponte Preta come up short against Mirassol

Mirassol left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

Juventude tell Ponte Preta: Marquinhos is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Gustavo Telles 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 Ponte Preta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match6 Jun 2028

A bad afternoon for Ponte Preta against Cuiabá

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

Squad12 Jun 2028

Bryan Borges 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 dugout12 Jun 2028

The manager makes an example of Juan Camilo Quiñonez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
