Squad

Nicolás Hernández says America de Cali 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

Joel Romero hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what America de Cali can pretend not to have heard.

Market

America de Cali sign Eyder Restrepo for $310.0K

The paperwork is done: Eyder Restrepo joins from Llaneros in a deal worth $310.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Rafael Carrascal 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 America de Cali this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Juan David Rubio is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market

Marlon García’s move to Patriotas falls through

The deal that would have taken Marlon García to Patriotas has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to America de Cali with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

America de Cali say no — this time

The offer from Santa Fe for Josen Escobar was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Jhon Murillo 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

Rafael Carrascal 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 manager has not finished forgetting Jorge Soto's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Market

Barranquilla are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. America de Cali will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market

No place for Tomás Ángel in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Tomás Ángel has his answer from America de Cali; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Match

America de Cali march on in the cup

Universitario Popayan are out and America de Cali go through, 2‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings

Carlos Sierra, 35, rolls back the years — 7.81

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.81 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

America de Cali say no — this time

The offer from Osasuna for Luis Mina was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

America de Cali sell Yojan Garcés for $1.1M

Yojan Garcés has left for FC Nantes in a $1.1M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Rafael Carrascal 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 America de Cali this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

David Contreras runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

America de Cali sell Jean for $580.0K

Jean has left for OGC Nice in a $580.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Player ratings

Cristian Tovar shuts the door

Defensive actions: 22, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

A bad afternoon for America de Cali against La Equidad

0‑1 to La Equidad, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
