Match17 Feb 2029

Nowhere to hide for Los Andes

1‑4 against Atlanta, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Tempers go at Los Andes

Mario Galeano 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.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Moayad Al-Houti 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.

The dugout19 Feb 2029

Moayad Al-Houti gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom19 Feb 2029

Inquest at Los Andes

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Facundo Villarreal beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout19 Feb 2029

Nazareno Fernández Colombo is still paying for one afternoon at Los Andes

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout19 Feb 2029

Diego Vázquez: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

A costly moment from Nazareno Fernández Colombo

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Los Andes, and it is a cruel one.

From our football correspondent Crisis

The terraces3 Jan 2028

The mood at Los Andes has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Boardroom3 Jan 2028

Felipe Méndez has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Los Andes can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Boardroom3 Jan 2028

Crisis meeting at Los Andes

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Market3 Jan 2028

Axel Páez puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Los Andes, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad3 Jan 2028

The season belongs to Mario Galeano

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Los Andes have had the benefit of it.

Squad3 Jan 2028

Julián Navas 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 Los Andes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Jan 2028

A row about effort at Los Andes

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

Squad3 Jan 2028

Daniel Moretti signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniel Moretti and Los Andes agree another 3 years.

Market3 Jan 2028

A stepping stone, not a home, for Daniel Moretti

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Los Andes were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.
