Market

Luis Vidal 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 The request is on a desk at Deportivo Pereira, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Yimy Gómez stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

Eber Moreno signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Eber Moreno and Deportivo Pereira agree another 3 years.

Squad

Walmer Pacheco 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 Deportivo Pereira this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Sebastián Acosta 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.

Market

Sebastián Acosta wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Darío Rodríguez 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Marco Pérez

“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.

The dugout

Eber Moreno 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.

Squad

Yimy Gómez keeps Deportivo Pereira 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.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Marco Pérez yet — 8.50

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.50 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Deportivo Pereira count the cost of losing Walmer Pacheco

34 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market

Yuber Quiñónes wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

A falling-out at Deportivo Pereira

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

Match

Deportivo Pereira get the job done against Deportes Tolima

A 2‑1 win over Deportes Tolima, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Deportivo Pereira

16 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.

Player ratings

Felipe Mosquera runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Freddy Lopez, on a 2‑1 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Chastening afternoon for Deportivo Pereira

A 0‑3 beating by Atletico Bucaramanga was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Christian Huérfano arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Christian Huérfano has, at Deportivo Pereira, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportivo Pereira

Walmer Pacheco 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.

Market

One of our own: Kevin Gonzalez joins the Deportivo Pereira first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Kevin Gonzalez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

Words at Deportivo Pereira training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Darío Rodríguez 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

Christian Huérfano signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Christian Huérfano commits to Deportivo Pereira for another 3 years.

The dugout

Efraín Ustariz gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Deportivo Pereira dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑3 Freddy Lopez left the room before anybody could ask which.
