Market

Pacos de Ferreira come back empty-handed

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

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Miguel Moreno at 20 — 7.97

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Miguel Moreno did not need any: 7.97, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Titanes Guanare

Rafael Otero 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Miguel Moreno

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Miguel Moreno the difference as Titanes Guanare beat Real Frontera

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Miguel Moreno. 1‑0 against Real Frontera, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Words at Titanes Guanare training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Diego Gonzalez 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 dugout

The manager makes an example of Diego Gonzalez

“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

Daniel Machis: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout

Cristian Savarino dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market

Francisco Arango 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Junior Rincon

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

Squad

A falling-out at Titanes Guanare

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

Squad

Francisco 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Rafael Otero

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Titanes Guanare get the job done against Barquisimeto

A 2‑0 win over Barquisimeto, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Fernando Otero

Marked 8.23 — 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.

Squad

Jesús Chima has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Titanes Guanare know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

The dugout

Daniel Machis: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑0, already talking about the next one.
