Market

Ítalo Sulbarán 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 The request is on a desk at Zamora, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Anthonys Matos 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 Zamora this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

No hiding place for Marco Bustillo

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

Squad

Cristian Díaz 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.

Squad

The formation has left Jesús Amarilla behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Zamora will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout

When it matters, José Sequera plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Héctor Noguera says Zamora went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Zamora may not be able to give Richard Celis what he wants

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

Squad

A row about effort at Zamora

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Anthonys Matos was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Boardroom

Zamora beat the market to Héber García from Portuguesa

Portuguesa will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Héber García has pre-agreed a move to Zamora, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

The dugout

No hiding place for Anthonys Matos

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

The dugout

Juan Manuel Toloza gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Juan Manuel Toloza is on it.
