Market

Denilson Ojeda has said yes to Atlético El Vigía

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Carabobo have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Loureins Martínez asks to leave Carabobo

“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.

Market

The Zamora deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Loureins Martínez reports back to Carabobo with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

A falling-out at Carabobo

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

Squad

Words at Carabobo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ezequiel Neira 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Carabobo

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Mayke 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 dugout

No hiding place for Franyer Oliveros

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Franyer Oliveros, and the manager let it.

Squad

Mayke still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Carabobo would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Marcel Guaramato puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at Carabobo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Loureins Martínez agrees terms with Zamora

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Carabobo people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets

Aragua tell Carabobo: Víctor Rivero is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets

Mateo Castillo turns down Carabobo

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Atletico Nacional keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Mayke stays put

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Carabobo

Darwin Machís 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.

Transfer targets

Carabobo baulk at the price for Germán Contreras

Atlético El Vigía wanted more than $250.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

A row about effort at Carabobo

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

Squad

Mayke needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Carabobo know which stage they are at.
