Leonel Moreno: 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.

Juan Vegas 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.

Estudiantes de Caracas are about to pick up the phone
A conversation is coming this week. Mineros de Guayana will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Words at Mineros de Guayana training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tomás Zamora 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.

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.
Transfer targets31 Dec 2029
A loan move for Jean Galindo is in the works
Mineros de Guayana have made the call to Guidonia Montecelio. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Mineros de Guayana ask about Ángelo Rivas
A loan enquiry to Metropolitanos: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
Market31 Dec 2029
Mineros de Guayana sign Juan Peralta, one for the future
Juan Peralta is 18, and Mineros de Guayana have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
Market31 Dec 2029
Mineros de Guayana buy the years ahead of Pol Vera
He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief
- Squad No place for Edilson Pérez in the new shape
