The dugout

Sebastián Moreno: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Patriotas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Esteven Salguero is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Patriotas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words exchanged at Patriotas

Brayan Fernández 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

Sebastián Moreno signs on for more

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

Squad

Esteven Salguero 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

Tomas Molina 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.

Squad

Éder Chaux stays put

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Patriotas

Brayan Fernández 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Patriotas against Independiente Medellin

1‑2 to Independiente Medellin, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jonnier Torres

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Patriotas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Esteven Salguero 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.

Market

24 months and counting on Éder Chaux

Still no offer on the table, and Éder Chaux’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Patriotas

11 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

Francisco Restrepo: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tomas Molina

“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.
