The Grêmio Herald
Match12 Jul 2031
The wait goes on for Grêmio
10 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.
Boardroom14 Jul 2031
Grêmio write off $815.8K on Daniel Lima
He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $815.8K of what Grêmio paid for Daniel Lima is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.
Market14 Jul 2031
Daniel Lima moves on
Corinthians pay $2.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
Market14 Jul 2031
Marcílio Dias come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Grêmio did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Squad14 Jul 2031
Tempers go at Grêmio
Álvaro Montoro 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 targets14 Jul 2031
Grêmio baulk at the price for Carlos Vinícius
Botafogo wanted more than $330.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Squad14 Jul 2031
A row about effort at Grêmio
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jhilmar Lora was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout14 Jul 2031
No hiding place for Álvaro Montoro
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Álvaro Montoro, and the manager let it.
Match12 Jul 2031
Grêmio cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
