Marked for David Herrera

Squad

Tempers go at Llaneros

André 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Santiago Lencina

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Roberto Gonzalez 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

No hiding place for David Machis

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

Squad

David Herrera out for 23 days

The medical room confirms 23 days on the sidelines for David Herrera, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Llaneros share the spoils with Aragua

A 1‑1 draw with Aragua leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Match

A 2-goal lead gone for Llaneros

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Deportivo Tachira kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Llaneros will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Player ratings

A brace, and David Machis takes the afternoon — 8.44

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. David Machis provided it, and the 8.44 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Carlos Rincon 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

Words at Llaneros training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. André 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

Llaneros count the cost of losing David Herrera

58 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Daniel Rosales

“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.

Match

Llaneros and Deportivo Tachira take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Rafael Cordova could not find anything

5.43. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Carlos Machis

Marked 5.59, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.
