The 2 de Mayo Courier

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad12 Feb 2029

Junior Balbuena keeps 2 de Mayo in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match10 Feb 2029

No end in sight to 2 de Mayo's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at 2 de Mayo has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Tempers go at 2 de Mayo

Elías Alfonso 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.

Squad12 Feb 2029

A move Gabriel Pinto would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Gabriel Pinto is living that version at 2 de Mayo, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

The window shuts on the Álvaro Martínez deal

2 de Mayo ran out of time with Sportivo Luqueno. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Ronald Cornet 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.

Boardroom12 Feb 2029

Still no name above the door at 2 de Mayo

Day 11 of the vacancy. Candidates have been priced, sounded out and quietly ruled out — and the caretaker’s win ratio is becoming an argument all by itself.

Match10 Feb 2029

Libertad take the points off 2 de Mayo

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market12 Feb 2029

2 de Mayo and Valentín Fiezzi are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The Millonarios Gazette

15 May 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad15 May 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Felipe Palacios

48 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Millonarios lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market15 May 2028

Richardson Rivas 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 Millonarios, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout15 May 2028

Juan José Ramírez says Millonarios 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.

Squad15 May 2028

Sebastián Navarro reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad15 May 2028

A falling-out at Millonarios

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

Squad15 May 2028

Millonarios count the cost of losing Jowell Carabalí

27 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout15 May 2028

Juninho is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Player ratings15 May 2028

Jhomier Guerrero was the difference for Millonarios

Marked 7.64. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout15 May 2028

Andrey Estupiñán 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.
