Squad

The step up is real for Darwin Castillo

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

The dugout

No hiding place for Junior Rondon

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Junior Rondon, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Yeferson Otero has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Atletico Venezuela will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Player ratings

Fernando Ferraresi was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 41. 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.

Match

The small margins put Atletico Venezuela out

Out, 3‑3 to Deportivo Lara, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings

Both of them Yeferson Otero's — 8.75

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.75, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

6 saves: Juan Savarino was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Luis Rincon, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.68

A mark of 7.68 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

4 matches without a win for Atletico Venezuela

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Atletico Venezuela are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Juan Romero 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Atletico Venezuela against Portuguesa

0‑2 to Portuguesa, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Borneo watching Luis Rincon

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Atletico Venezuela have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings

Juan Romero beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Juan Romero has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Atletico Venezuela can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Atletico Venezuela

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

Squad

A row about effort at Atletico Venezuela

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Juan Savarino

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Juan Savarino, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

One of those days for Wilmar Vargas

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.46, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match

Deportivo Lara snatch it back from Atletico Venezuela

A goal on 94 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Match

Wilmar Vargas rescues a point for Atletico Venezuela

It needed Wilmar Vargas to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Deportivo Lara, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

Fernando Ferraresi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Atletico Venezuela, and both men came out saying it was fine.
