Market

Alejandro Zapata sold, and an era ends

$3.9M from Santa Fe for Alejandro Zapata. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Squad

Fernando Braga is the young player of the season

Not a month, not a run of form — a whole season of being the best 19-year-old anybody in this division could put on a pitch. This is the honour that gets mentioned for the rest of his career.

The terraces

La Equidad sell a favourite for $3.9M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Alejandro Zapata was one of the reasons people came, and $3.9M does not replace that by itself.

Transfer targets

Luis Mateus due for a La Equidad medical

Everything agreed with Atletico Bucaramanga, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

An offer of $71.0K for Edmilson Herazo

La Equidad have gone to Barranquilla with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

La Equidad sign Alejandro Amaya for $63.0K

The paperwork is done: Alejandro Amaya joins from Patriotas in a deal worth $63.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Ivan Gonzalez is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Luis Díaz signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luis Díaz and La Equidad agree another 2 years.

Squad

A row about effort at La Equidad

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alfredo Gonzalez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words at La Equidad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alejandro Zapata 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

Rafael Tapia signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rafael Tapia and La Equidad agree another 3 years.

Squad

No place for Brayan Gómez in the new shape

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

Squad

Ivan Gonzalez is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Brayan Gómez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Brayan Gómez and La Equidad agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at La Equidad

Andres Ramirez 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.

Squad

Alfredo Gonzalez 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 dugout

When it matters, Fabian Sanchez plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Brayan Gómez joins La Equidad to strengthen the squad

Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and La Equidad have gone and got theirs early.
