Market

Edgar Gomez has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Libertad they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Words exchanged at Libertad

Gustavo Aguilar 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.

Market

Lucio Cruceño wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Libertad

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

The dugout

No hiding place for Rodrigo Morínigo

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

Match

The run is over for Libertad

5 matches without defeat, and then Nacional. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Squad

A row about effort at Libertad

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matías Espinoza was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Libertad count the cost of losing Luis Gimenez

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match

Libertad at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 3, 22 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

In brief

Market

Alan Benítez 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 The request is on a desk at Libertad, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Edgar Gomez is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Libertad is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words exchanged at Libertad

Gustavo Aguilar 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.

Squad

Libertad lose Luis Gimenez

45 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Words at Libertad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Robert Rojas 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Libertad

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Loan watch

Rainero Laratro has seen enough of Guarani de Fram

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Libertad, and 0 appearances in 11 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Hugo Fernández

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Libertad told Hugo Fernández something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Looking ahead

Matías Rojas faces his old club

Cerro Porteno next, and one man in the Libertad dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
