From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Sebastian Muriel keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Cortulua may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Edwin Cordoba signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Edwin Cordoba and Cortulua agree another 5 years.

Squad

Words at Cortulua training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Liam Espinosa 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Cortulua

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Felipe Diaz

“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.

The dugout

Wilmar Muriel gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Wilmar Muriel is on it.

The dugout

Andres Lemos: 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.” Cortulua have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words exchanged at Cortulua

César Quintero 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.

Squad

Juan Deusa 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.

Market

Cortulua say no — this time

The offer from Panserraikos for Hector Arias 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.

Squad

A move Juan Deusa 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. Juan Deusa is living that version at Cortulua, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings

Carlos Uribe was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Jesus Castillo 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 Cortulua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Liam Espinosa 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.

Player ratings

Mateo Ramirez in the eights

A performance of 8.07 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Cortulua caught on 92 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Envigado scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Squad

No place for César Quintero in the new shape

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

Player ratings

Wilmar Muriel turns it into his own net

Nobody's fault and entirely his: a goal that goes into the book with his name against it and nothing about it intended. Cortulua deserved better, and so did he.
