Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Williams Pedrozo

45 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Deportivo Lara lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Only the photograph left for José Ardila

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. José Ardila will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Deportivo Lara the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at Deportivo Lara

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

Squad

Francisco Flores 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 Deportivo Lara this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

One of our own: Carlos Rondon joins the Deportivo Lara first team

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

Market

Alejandro Rosales steps up from the Deportivo Lara academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Alejandro Rosales has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Darwin Martinez steps up from the Deportivo Lara academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Darwin Martinez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Junior Arango joins the Deportivo Lara first team

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

Match

Deportivo Lara come up short against Zamora

Zamora left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Luis Vargas needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Deportivo Lara know which stage they are at.

The dugout

Victor Ramirez: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad

Christian Santos is a square peg at Deportivo Lara

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
