Squad

Marcelo Nardo breaks a bone — 72 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 72 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Fernando Moreno asks to leave Llaneros

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Llaneros

Junior 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

A fracture rules Marcelo Nardo out for 103 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.

Market

Fernando Moreno 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 The request is on a desk at Llaneros, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jose Casseres

“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.

Squad

Roberto Soteldo damages knee ligaments — 25 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 25 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

A fracture rules Marcelo Nardo out for 119 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.

Market

So close: Juan Murillo’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Kashima Antlers moved on, Juan Murillo reports back to Llaneros, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Roberto Soteldo damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

A fracture rules Marcelo Nardo out for 126 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.

Match

The small margins put Llaneros out

Out, 0‑4 to Caracas, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The terraces

Llaneros are taken apart by Caracas — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-4. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Market

Eyes on Juan Murillo again

The phone has started ringing about Juan Murillo again, and this time the name on the line is Kashima Antlers. Llaneros are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

4 matches without a win for Llaneros

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Roberto Soteldo

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Junior Ramirez 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Cristian Osorio

“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.

Player ratings

A debut Sergio Osorio will not forget — 7.14

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.14 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings

Juan Murillo scores twice — 8.18

Two goals and a mark of 8.18 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Llaneros may not be able to give Cristian Osorio what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Cristian Osorio wants continental football; whether Llaneros can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Player ratings

Roberto Soteldo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Llaneros

Junior 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.

Match

6 goals as Llaneros and Deportivo Lara go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Llaneros and Deportivo Lara, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Jose Casseres 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

Llaneros supporters have found a favourite in Juan Murillo

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Juan Murillo has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Cristian Otero signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Cristian Otero commits to Llaneros for another 2 years.
