“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Carabobo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Zamora come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Deportivo Tachira did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Trujillanos, and it is not being withdrawn.

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Jesús Hernández had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Zamora
Isaí Valladares was marked 6.99 and had a hand in 2 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Albert García leads the division for assists — 6.81
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 3 of them made by a Aragua player marked 6.81, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Agustín Bianciotti will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Metropolitanos the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Fernando Rincon is the division's best-marked player — 8.10
