Squad

70 days out for José Velásquez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Deportivo Municipal will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the Deportivo Municipal boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad

Words exchanged at Deportivo Municipal

Alejandro Duarte 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

Hugo Ancajima stays at Universitario as time runs out

A deal that was a phone call from completion at lunchtime was dead by midnight. Deportivo Municipal will try again when the window opens; Universitario may not be selling by then.

Squad

Brady Paz 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

No hiding place for Carlos Carrillo

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

The dugout

Junior Aguirre knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Deportivo Municipal, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Jamilton Isuiza has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Jamilton Isuiza has written the date down.

Market

Window shut, Moisés Velásquez still here

Deportivo Municipal spent the window trying to move Moisés Velásquez on and nobody came. He trains with a squad that has already told him he is not part of it, and both sides now wait for the next one.

Squad

Gabriel Costa breaks a bone — 100 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 100 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

No end in sight to Deportivo Municipal's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Deportivo Municipal has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Alejandro Duarte signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Alejandro Duarte and Deportivo Municipal agree another 2 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Deportivo Municipal

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Deportivo Municipal against Universitario

1‑3 to Universitario, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

José Velásquez 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

Raul Yotun: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

No hiding place for Mathías Panduro

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

Looking ahead

Deportivo Municipal take on the side everybody is chasing

Sporting Cristal arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Deportivo Municipal board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad

Alejandro Duarte 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 Municipal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Deportivo Municipal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Cotrina 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.
