Squad

Johar Mejía 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 Bogota this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A move Lautaro Aquino would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Lautaro Aquino is living that version at Bogota, and it tends to show in the first month.

Boardroom

Bogota counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Bogota now.

Squad

Words at Bogota training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Castro 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

Bogota buy the years ahead of Lautaro Aquino

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Bogota keep their word to Tizian Varela

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The Vélez Gazette

15 Feb 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Emanuel Mammana 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 Vélez this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Lucas Robertone

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 23 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market

Vélez may not be able to give Aarón Quiros what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Aarón Quiros wants continental football; whether Vélez can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Market

Arsenal Tula watching Thiago Silvero

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Vélez have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Imanol Machuca 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.

Player ratings

Imanol Machuca runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Matías Pellegrini was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.61. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

Vélez get the job done against Unión de Santa Fe

A 1‑0 win over Unión de Santa Fe, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Emanuel Mammana in the eights

A performance of 8.06 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
