Match10 Jun 2028

The wait goes on for Bogota

10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Andrés Cifuentes 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 The request is on a desk at Bogota, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match10 Jun 2028

4 matches without a goal for Bogota

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Words at Bogota training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Castro 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.

No hiding place for Andrés Cifuentes

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

Alejandro Restrepo 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 Bogota this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings12 Jun 2028

Nobody could get near Kevin Castro

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Bogota buy the years ahead of Jesus Valencia

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Zaur Baisurkaev 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 Bogota know it.

The Valledupar Post

8 Nov 2027
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad8 Nov 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jonathan Lozano

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

Market8 Nov 2027

Alfredo Palacios asks to leave Valledupar

“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.

Squad8 Nov 2027

A fracture rules Hector Bacca out for 57 days

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

Squad8 Nov 2027

Juan David Vélez: 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.” Valledupar have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market8 Nov 2027

Hector Perez is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Valledupar is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Valledupar

Brayan Blandón 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.
