Match

The cup run ends for Atletico Venezuela

0‑1 against Caracas, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Atletico Venezuela say no — this time

The offer from St. Gallen for Daniel Casseres 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Miguel Rincon

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Andres Arango 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

Al-Taawoun are about to pick up the phone

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

Squad

Francisco Gonzalez 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.

Match

Atletico Venezuela through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Deportivo Lara, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad

David Soteldo keeps Atletico Venezuela in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Victor Rincon scores twice — 9.09

Two goals and a mark of 9.09 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings

Miguel Rincon, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.88

A mark of 7.88 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Perth Glory join the queue for Daniel Casseres

Add another name to the list: Perth Glory have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Daniel Casseres. The answer from Atletico Venezuela has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alejandro Cuadrado

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

6 goals as Atletico Venezuela and Carabobo go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Atletico Venezuela and Carabobo, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Words at Atletico Venezuela training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andres Arango 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.

The terraces

Atletico Venezuela supporters have found a favourite in Miguel Rincon

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Miguel Rincon has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alejandro Cuadrado

Successful dribbles: 40. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Cruel end for Portuguesa as Atletico Venezuela pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Atletico Venezuela scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings

Both of them Daniel Casseres's — 9.18

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.18, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from David Soteldo

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Atletico Venezuela turn down Pachuca for David Soteldo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Daniel Casseres signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniel Casseres and Atletico Venezuela agree another 3 years.

Squad

David Soteldo 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 Atletico Venezuela this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Atletico Venezuela training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Martinez 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.

Match

Atletico Venezuela find a way past Portuguesa

Portuguesa made Atletico Venezuela work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

5 goals for Victor Rincon

The match ball belongs to Victor Rincon, whose 5 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match

No mercy from Atletico Venezuela

Aragua will want this one forgotten quickly: 8‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Atletico Venezuela were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Market

Atletico Venezuela turn down San Jose Earthquakes for Victor Rincon

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

David Soteldo attracts admirers

The name of David Soteldo has come up in conversations Atletico Venezuela were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Oscar Rosales signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Oscar Rosales commits to Atletico Venezuela for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Atletico Venezuela

David Soteldo 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Victor Rincon

Marked 10.00 — 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.

Player ratings

Daniel Casseres in the eights

A performance of 9.97 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

Victor Rincon among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Victor Rincon on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Atletico Venezuela and Aragua.
