Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sergio Moreno

16 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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Franco Carretero

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

4 matches without a win for Deportivo Lara

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Deportivo Lara are no longer polite ones.

Match

4 matches without a goal for Deportivo Lara

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportivo Lara

Francisco Flores 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

The manager makes an example of Luis Curiel

“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.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sergio Moreno

25 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.

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.

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Deportivo Lara

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Deportivo Lara

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match

Deportivo Tachira take the points off Deportivo Lara

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Néstor Cova

“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.

Squad

Sergio Moreno damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportivo Lara

Ronaldo Peña 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.

Loan watch

Santiago Ortíz counts the days

“I watch every Deportivo Lara game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Estudiantes de Merida runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

The plan did not have a place for Franco Carretero

Nobody at Deportivo Lara is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Match

Deportivo Lara and Metropolitanos cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Metropolitanos came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad

Luis Annese knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Luis Annese trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sergio Moreno

41 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.

Squad

Ronaldo Peña 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Luis Annese

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