Squad

Luis Salazar 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 Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Eltinho 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.

Squad

Ueslei asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The Parana Post

3 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

Juliano Chade keeps Parana in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

8 seasons of Eltinho

237 appearances across 8 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Parana know what they have.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Gabriel Pfeifer for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Parana will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

Eltinho stays put

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Lucas Bueno

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Parana find a way past Nautico

Nautico made Parana work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Clayton Junior is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Parana has been clear about where Clayton Junior stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Talks stall between Parana and Eltinho

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Lucas Bueno

A mark of 7.85, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
