Squad

A falling-out at Cesar Vallejo

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

Squad

Eleazar Ramírez arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Eleazar Ramírez has, at Cesar Vallejo, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Cesar Vallejo rebuffed over Cristian Pavón

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Boca Juniors have kept their man, and Cesar Vallejo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Italo Regalado 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

Diego Ulloa stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Diego Ulloa and Cesar Vallejo agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Jorge Bosmediano 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.

The dugout

Lisandro Alzugaray knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Lisandro Alzugaray trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Cesar Vallejo pick up Eleazar Ramírez for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Eleazar Ramírez arrives at Cesar Vallejo with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.

The dugout

César Bautista 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 César Bautista has written the date down.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Jorge Cabezudo stands alone

10 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Jorge Cabezudo 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 Cesar Vallejo can pretend not to have heard.

Match

No end in sight to Cesar Vallejo's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Cesar Vallejo has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Words exchanged at Cesar Vallejo

Alex Valera 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.

Market

Pablo Muñoz is a Cesar Vallejo player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Cesar Vallejo

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

One of our own: Wilder Lapadula joins the Cesar Vallejo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Wilder Lapadula is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Renato Garces joins the Cesar Vallejo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Renato Garces is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match

Cesar Vallejo come up short against Alianza Lima

Alianza Lima left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
