Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Cristian Rosales

29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Estudiantes de Caracas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

José Ferrer breaks a bone — 46 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 46 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Juan Gonzalez: 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.” Estudiantes de Caracas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Estudiantes de Caracas turn down Atromitos for David Martinez

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Estudiantes de Caracas

José Ferrer 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

Victor Soteldo 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

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 32 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market

Oscar Gonzalez 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 Estudiantes de Caracas can pretend not to have heard.

Match

Estudiantes de Caracas come up short against Portuguesa

Portuguesa left with the points after a 4‑5 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

Estudiantes de Caracas say no — this time

The offer from Cracovia for Oscar Gonzalez was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Richard Ramirez scored one and made one — 7.99

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.99, and 2 involvements.

Match

Juan Casseres among the goals in a wild afternoon

9 goals in one match, Juan Casseres on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Estudiantes de Caracas and Portuguesa.

Squad

Juan Gonzalez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Juan Gonzalez commits to Estudiantes de Caracas for another 2 years.

Squad

Words at Estudiantes de Caracas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cristian Rosales 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

Tempers go at Estudiantes de Caracas

Francisco Moreno 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.
