Squad15 Nov 2027

Manoel 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.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Words exchanged at Tombense

Cadu 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.

The dugout15 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Alípio

“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.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Tombense count the cost of losing Daniel Borges

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

A row about effort at Tombense

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

The dugout15 Nov 2027

When it matters, Igor Rabello plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout15 Nov 2027

Igor Pereira is still paying for one afternoon at Tombense

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Looking ahead15 Nov 2027

A reunion for Valdir

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Confiança in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout15 Nov 2027

Valderrama knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Tombense, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match31 Jul 2027

8 matches without a win for Tombense

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Tombense are no longer polite ones.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Tombense

Marcelo Carné 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.

One of our own: Pedro Farias joins the Tombense first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Pedro Farias is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market2 Aug 2027

Henrique Peixoto steps up from the Tombense academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Henrique Peixoto 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.

The manager makes an example of Dodô

“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.

Match31 Jul 2027

A bad afternoon for Tombense against Sampaio Corrêa

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

Squad2 Aug 2027

Igor Pereira 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.

In brief
