From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Tomás Pérez was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 39. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match12 Aug 2026

Atlético Mineiro march on in the cup

ABC are out and Atlético Mineiro go through, 3‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A fracture rules Alexsandro out for 22 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Atlético Mineiro will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad17 Aug 2026

7 saves: Everson was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

No sign of nerves from Cauã Soares at 18 — 7.92

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Cauã Soares did not need any: 7.92, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Richard gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Richard has just signed for Atlético Mineiro, and for once the answer mattered.

Market17 Aug 2026

Zé Phelipe has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Atlético Mineiro they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Lucas Souza has agreed to leave Atlético Mineiro for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Atlético Mineiro

Gustavo Scarpa 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Fred raises the bar for Atlético Mineiro

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Atlético Mineiro heard it as anything else.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Renan Lodi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Renan Lodi and Atlético Mineiro agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A falling-out at Atlético Mineiro

Gustavo Scarpa and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Tomás Cuello was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match8 Aug 2026

Bragantino take the points off Atlético Mineiro

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Rodrigo Amaral to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Renan Lodi 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Atlético Mineiro

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

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Dudu left out for tactical reasons at Atlético Mineiro

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Gustavo Scarpa raises the bar for Atlético Mineiro

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Atlético Mineiro heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Everson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Everson and Atlético Mineiro agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Atlético Mineiro

Gustavo Scarpa 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Atlético Mineiro training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Renan Lodi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match1 Aug 2026

Atlético Mineiro find a way past Corinthians

Corinthians made Atlético Mineiro work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Match1 Aug 2026

Corinthians blown away early

There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Corinthians tried to reorganise, Atlético Mineiro did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Mateo Cassierra was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.16. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad3 Aug 2026

9 new faces, and Atlético Mineiro are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Tomás Cuello was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
