Savely Zolkin puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Llaneros, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Llaneros

Alejandro 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.

Alejandro Soteldo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Carlos Murillo shuts the door

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Savely Zolkin 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 Llaneros know it.

Jofrank Istifanus shuts the door

Defensive actions: 14, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

No hiding place for Reuben Juma

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

Llaneros and Atletico Venezuela cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Atletico Venezuela came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

A first senior shirt for David Arango

Every debut is a small story about the future: David Arango, 18 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Market14 Aug 2028

Abdulla Faisal 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 Llaneros can pretend not to have heard.

Only the photograph left for Ismael Torres

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ismael Torres will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Llaneros the goodbyes have quietly begun.

A defender's afternoon for Victor Cordova

Defensive actions: 25. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Juan David Vélez 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 Llaneros this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Aug 2028

Llaneros lose Darwin Savarino

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

Darwin Savarino runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A long bet from Llaneros on David Arango

He is 18, and nobody at Llaneros signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market14 Aug 2028

Llaneros sign Luis Rondon, one for the future

Luis Rondon is 20, and Llaneros 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.
