The knee: Wilmar Borja out for 20 days

20 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Cortulua lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Juan David Guillén says Cortulua went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad20 Nov 2028

A row about effort at Cortulua

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Freddy Montero was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad20 Nov 2028

A falling-out at Cortulua

Dennys Quintero and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

When it matters, Julian Mejia 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.

Alejandro Restrepo knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Cortulua, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The terraces20 Nov 2028

The Camilo Montero rumours reach the terraces

What was a back-page link has become a chant, and the chant is not friendly. Cortulua would rather it were settled quietly, and it has stopped being quiet.

Market20 Nov 2028

The shop window has Freddy Montero in it

Cortulua have let the market know Freddy Montero can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market20 Nov 2028

The Juan Arias talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Cortulua know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market24 Jan 2028

Neftchi come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Cortulua did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

Duván Sevillano keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Cortulua may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market24 Jan 2028

Camilo Montero has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Cortulua can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Match22 Jan 2028

The wait goes on for Cortulua

4 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.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Tempers go at Cortulua

Gustavo Ospina 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.

Boardroom24 Jan 2028

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Cortulua

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Words at Cortulua training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Freddy Montero 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.

The dugout24 Jan 2028

The manager makes an example of Freddy Montero

“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.

One of our own: Francisco Barrios joins the Cortulua first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Francisco Barrios is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
