Squad

Diego Arismendi damages knee ligaments — 113 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 113 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Carlos Roca 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 The request is on a desk at Angostura, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

José Rondón frozen out at Angostura

This is not rotation. José Rondón has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Angostura is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Tomás Muia 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 Angostura this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Wuilker Medina falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Alexis Torrez 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 Alexis Torrez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout

Andrés D’Agostino keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Angostura may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Juan Pablo Rial

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Angostura have done the hard part with San Telmo, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

A falling-out at Angostura

Tomás Muia and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Angostura

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Transfer targets

Angostura rebuffed over Jeycob Zabaleta

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leones have kept their man, and Angostura go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match

Rayo Zuliano take the points off Angostura

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

Gabriel Rondon steps up from the Angostura academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gabriel Rondon 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.

Market

Angostura promote Darwin Rondon from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Darwin Rondon 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.

One of our own: Alejandro Castillo joins the Angostura first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alejandro Castillo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
