From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout

Carlos Barreto: 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.” Mineros de Guayana have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Johan Osorio 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 Mineros de Guayana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Leonardo Terán signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Leonardo Terán and Mineros de Guayana agree another 2 years.

Market

Mineros de Guayana promote Darwin Rincon from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Darwin Rincon 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.

Mineros de Guayana promote Junior Murillo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Junior Murillo 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.

Squad

21 new faces, and Mineros de Guayana are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

The formation has left Leonardo Terán behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Mineros de Guayana will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout

No hiding place for Juan Méndez

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

The dugout

Néstor Canelón 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 Néstor Canelón trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

In brief
