The dugout

Jesús Ospino: 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.” Atlético El Vigía have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Atlético El Vigía

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

Boardroom

The numbers do not look good at Atlético El Vigía

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.

Squad

Words at Atlético El Vigía training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adrián Montañez 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.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 180% of the Atlético El Vigía income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Market

Jesús Ospino is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Atlético El Vigía has been clear about where Jesús Ospino stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

A promise honoured at Atlético El Vigía

Something was said to Jhan Torres and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout

Luis Arenas 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 Atlético El Vigía, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

No hiding place for Bryan Hernández

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

The dugout

Víctor Monsalve says Atlético El Vigía 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.

Match

4 matches without a win for Atlético El Vigía

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Atlético El Vigía are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

3 academy graduates step up at Atlético El Vigía

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Match

Atlético El Vigía cannot find the net

3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Germán Contreras 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Atlético El Vigía

Francisco Villarreal and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

A bad afternoon for Atlético El Vigía against Anzoátegui

0‑2 to Anzoátegui, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Atlético El Vigía promote Jose Gonzalez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jose Gonzalez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Daniel Castillo joins the Atlético El Vigía first team

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