The Mixto Chronicle
Player ratings2 Aug 2027
Keven Samuel, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.63
A mark of 7.63 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Jonathan, 36, rolls back the years — 8.09
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.09 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

França stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” França and Mixto agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Tempers go at Mixto
Adrielson 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.
Transfer targets2 Aug 2027
No deal for Fellipe Mateus at that price
Mixto offered $23.0K; Criciúma said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Mixto supporters have found a favourite in Keven Samuel
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Keven Samuel has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Jonathan the difference as Mixto beat Aparecidense
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jonathan. 2‑0 against Aparecidense, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

One of our own: Tiago Guimarães joins the Mixto first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Tiago Guimarães is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Caio Lopes steps up from the Mixto academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Caio Lopes 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.
