Market

Ederson Moreno hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Deportivo Pereira can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Alejandro Herrera signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alejandro Herrera and Deportivo Pereira agree another 4 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Deportivo Pereira

Romario Murcia 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.

Squad

Anderson Plata is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Anderson Plata has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ederson Moreno

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Talks stall between Deportivo Pereira and Eber Moreno

“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.

Squad

Deportivo Pereira have started building around Marcus Vinicius

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

Looking ahead

Felipe Mosquera goes back to face Jaguares

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Felipe Mosquera’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Deportivo Pereira needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market

The Marcus Vinicius talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Deportivo Pereira know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

Marcus Vinicius has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Deportivo Pereira can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Player ratings

One of those days for Alejandro Piedrahita

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.46, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout

No hiding place for Marco Pérez

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

Squad

14 new faces, and Deportivo Pereira 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportivo Pereira

Santiago Mosquera 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.

Match

Alejandro Piedrahita rescues a point for Deportivo Pereira

It needed Alejandro Piedrahita to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Junior, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Alejandro Herrera signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alejandro Herrera commits to Deportivo Pereira for another 4 years.

Player ratings

Fabio Delgado 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.

The dugout

Edwin Restrepo on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Edwin Restrepo after the 2‑2 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
