Match3 Feb 2029

15 matches without a win for Llaneros

The run now stands at 15, and the questions being asked around Llaneros are no longer polite ones.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A fracture rules Miguel Osorio out for 82 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Llaneros will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad5 Feb 2029

A falling-out at Llaneros

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

Squad5 Feb 2029

The step up is real for Andres Machis

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.

Player ratings5 Feb 2029

Alejandro Gonzalez beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad5 Feb 2029

Words at Llaneros training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Miguel 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.

Daniel Osorio gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Daniel Osorio is on it.

The dugout5 Feb 2029

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Luis Rincon was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Llaneros dressing room was either.

The dugout5 Feb 2029

The form table has caught Carlos Rincon

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Back issues

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad13 Nov 2028

29 days out for Cristian Rincon after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Llaneros will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout13 Nov 2028

Roberto Arango: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Llaneros have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad13 Nov 2028

Tempers go at Llaneros

Richard 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.

Squad13 Nov 2028

Miguel 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 dugout13 Nov 2028

No hiding place for Andres Machis

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

The dugout13 Nov 2028

Andrés Guzmán knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Andrés Guzmán trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market13 Nov 2028

The Alejandro Gonzalez story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Alejandro Gonzalez signs something — a contract at Llaneros or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad13 Nov 2028

Andres Machis wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Llaneros will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

The dugout13 Nov 2028

The manager makes Luis Castillo a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Llaneros. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
