Franco Rodríguez hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Los Andes can pretend not to have heard.

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.

Bruno Sosa steps up from the Los Andes academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bruno Sosa 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.
