“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.

No end in sight to Los Andes's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Los Andes has to find a result from somewhere.

Los Andes promote Nicolás Ramos from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nicolás Ramos 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.
