Match12 Feb 2028

7 unbeaten for Estudiantes de Caracas

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Estudiantes de Caracas did not have in the autumn.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Junior Rondon 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 Estudiantes de Caracas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Words at Estudiantes de Caracas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eduardo Fereira 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.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

A masterclass from Roberto Gonzalez

Marked 8.84 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Gift Erasmus wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Estudiantes de Caracas know it.

Player ratings14 Feb 2028

Gustavo Reyes runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Estudiantes de Caracas lose Andres Ramirez

35 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market14 Feb 2028

Estudiantes de Caracas sign Vykintas Dapkus, one for the future

Vykintas Dapkus is 18, and Estudiantes de Caracas have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Match12 Feb 2028

Honours even between Estudiantes de Caracas and Zamora

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad23 Aug 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Marius Kazlauskas

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

Market23 Aug 2027

Karolis Mikoliunas asks to leave Atlantas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The terraces23 Aug 2027

Atlantas spend $110.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $110.0K for Saulius Lasickas, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Market23 Aug 2027

Siauliai are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Atlantas will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Dariuš Stankevičius 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.

Squad23 Aug 2027

The manager has not finished forgetting Karolis Mikoliunas's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market25 Jan 2027

Marius Eliosius 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 Atlantas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad25 Jan 2027

The manager plants his flag on Edgaras Slavickas

“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Edgaras Slavickas’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.

Squad25 Jan 2027

The penny has dropped for Ignas Sernas

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at Atlantas the difference is visible from the back of the stand.
