The terraces

The mood at Patriotas 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.

Match

10 matches without a win for Patriotas

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Patriotas are no longer polite ones.

Market

Johan Campaña 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 The request is on a desk at Patriotas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

Fee done, terms next for Juan Esteban García

Patriotas and Deportes Tolima have settled on $170.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

The dugout

Carlos Copete frozen out at Patriotas

This is not rotation. Carlos Copete has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Patriotas is pretending otherwise.

Transfer targets

Jeison Angulo due for a Patriotas medical

Everything agreed with Santa Fe, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Patriotas

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Fortaleza CEIF tell Patriotas: Andrés Arroyo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Patriotas come up short against Bogota

Bogota left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

In brief
