Marked for José Durán

Market21 Jun 2027

Terms done: Pablo Silva is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Trujillanos waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Carabobo is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

Jonathan Bilbao says Carabobo 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.

Market21 Jun 2027

José Durán 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 Carabobo can pretend not to have heard.

Market21 Jun 2027

Rayo Zuliano come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Carabobo did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom21 Jun 2027

Carabobo go back to the board over Jean Carlos Polo

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $100.1K — a club that wants Jean Carlos Polo enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Door shut on Douglas Tanque

Carabobo asked and Bandirmaspor said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market21 Jun 2027

Carabobo may not be able to give Abraham Bahachille what he wants

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

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Carabobo baulk at the price for Jean Carlos Polo

UCV wanted more than $91.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Ezequiel Neira 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.

Market19 Oct 2026

Eric Ramírez 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Carabobo

Miguel Silva was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Real improvement from José Durán at Carabobo

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. José Durán is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Carabobo

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

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Jonathan Bilbao 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 dugout19 Oct 2026

Matías Núñez has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Carabobo will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Carabobo

Leonardo Aponte 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Carabobo

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

The dugout7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Ezequiel Neira

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

13 new faces, and Carabobo are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Nicolás Caprio moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Carabobo than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Marcel Guaramato has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Carabobo will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
