Boardroom16 Dec 2030

Pressure builds in the Fortaleza CEIF boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Guillermo Gómez’s move to Fortaleza CEIF collapses on the table

Fee agreed, terms agreed, and a scan that said otherwise. He goes back to La Equidad; Fortaleza CEIF go back to the market; and both will insist there is no story here.

Transfer targets16 Dec 2030

The paperwork begins on Marlon Flórez

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Fortaleza CEIF have done the hard part with Patriotas, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad16 Dec 2030

Joan Cajares 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.

Squad16 Dec 2030

Juan Camilo Albornoz 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 Fortaleza CEIF this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad16 Dec 2030

Nicolás Pisciotti signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Nicolás Pisciotti and Fortaleza CEIF agree another 3 years.

The dugout16 Dec 2030

Yesid Díaz asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad16 Dec 2030

No place for Wilmar Moreno in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Fortaleza CEIF are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

The dugout30 Jul 2029

Carlos Copete: 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.

Deadline beats Patriotas to Jan Carlos Ángulo

The clock did what Deportes Tolima would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Squad30 Jul 2029

A falling-out at Patriotas

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

Squad30 Jul 2029

Wilmar Diaz out for 28 days

The medical room confirms 28 days on the sidelines for Wilmar Diaz, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout30 Jul 2029

The manager makes an example of Camilo Ordóñez

“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.

Squad30 Jul 2029

Words at Patriotas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Javier Zorro 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.

From our football correspondent Steady

Match23 Jul 2029

Patriotas are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 38 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Transfer targets23 Jul 2029

Fee done, terms next for Keiner Arias

Patriotas and Aguilas Doradas have settled on $180.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market23 Jul 2029

Ferney Rivadeneira has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Patriotas they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom23 Jul 2029

Patriotas close the window on a squad of their own making

3 in and 5 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad23 Jul 2029

Brayan Fernández 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 Patriotas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets23 Jul 2029

Patriotas rebuffed over Kevin Angulo

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

The dugout23 Jul 2029

The manager makes an example of Ferney Rivadeneira

“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.

Michael Nike linked with a move away

The name of Michael Nike keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Patriotas say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad25 Jun 2029

Marlon Flórez breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match25 Jun 2029

Patriotas up to position 3

38 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Fee done, terms next for Luis Sandoval

Patriotas and Independiente Medellin have settled on $1.4M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Patriotas make their move for Jan Carlos Ángulo

$2.0M on the table at Deportes Tolima. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market25 Jun 2029

Ferney Rivadeneira has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Patriotas they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market25 Jun 2029

Wilmar Moreno 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 Patriotas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Wainer Marquez due for a Patriotas medical

Everything agreed with Leones, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad25 Jun 2029

Brayan Fernández 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 Patriotas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Alexis Duarte attracts admirers

The name of Alexis Duarte has come up in conversations Patriotas were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
