Manuel Diaz 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.

Words at Universitario Popayan training over how hard people work

Eyes on Javier Murillo again

The phone has started ringing about Javier Murillo again, and this time the name on the line is Everton. Universitario Popayan are listening politely and promising nothing.

Felipe Hernandez asks to leave Universitario Popayan

“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.
