Squad12 Jun 2028

Oscar Otero damages knee ligaments — 21 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 21 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Daniel Herrera: 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.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Enmanuel Verde 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 Estudiantes de Caracas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Jun 2028

A move Daniel Machis would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Daniel Machis is living that version at Estudiantes de Caracas, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market12 Jun 2028

Trujillanos expected to open talks for Diego Soteldo

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Estudiantes de Caracas will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Match10 Jun 2028

Estudiantes de Caracas see off Metropolitanos

Three points for Estudiantes de Caracas, 2‑1 the final word against Metropolitanos in a contest settled by the finer margins.

A masterclass from Cristian Cordova

Marked 8.29 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market12 Jun 2028

Estudiantes de Caracas buy the years ahead of Daniel Machis

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Player ratings12 Jun 2028

Off the pace: Cristian Ferraresi

A mark of 5.64 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Oscar Otero damages knee ligaments — 28 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 28 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match3 Jun 2028

No end in sight to Estudiantes de Caracas's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Estudiantes de Caracas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Francisco Rosales 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 Estudiantes de Caracas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match3 Jun 2028

Estudiantes de Caracas come up short against Trujillanos

Trujillanos left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad5 Jun 2028

José Soto 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.

Squad5 Jun 2028

No hiding place for Francisco Rosales

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

Match3 Jun 2028

Estudiantes de Caracas hit back inside 2 minutes

Trujillanos held the lead for 2 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Estudiantes de Caracas answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Market5 Jun 2028

Estudiantes de Caracas sign Ignacio Soria, one for the future

Ignacio Soria is 20, and Estudiantes de Caracas have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Player ratings5 Jun 2028

An afternoon José Soto will want back

Marked 5.39. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

In brief
