Squad

Llaneros lose Junior Rincon

26 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Juan Carlos Benítez 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.

Squad

When it matters, Fernando Osorio plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Rafael Murillo is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Rafael Murillo: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Cup progress for Llaneros

A 1‑1 win over Caracas, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Llaneros say no — this time

The offer from Viktoria Plzen for Fernando Machis 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Llaneros

Fernando Machis 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

Junior Rincon out for 56 days

The medical room confirms 56 days on the sidelines for Junior Rincon, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Salomon Gonzalez gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
