Match22 Jan 2028
Anzoátegui make home a hard place to visit
17 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.
Market24 Jan 2028
Terms done: Gastón Unrein is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Yaracuyanos waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Anzoátegui is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Andry Vera asks to leave Anzoátegui
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Transfer targets24 Jan 2028
An offer of $730.0K for Jesús Duarte
Anzoátegui have gone to Deportivo Tachira with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.
Transfer targets24 Jan 2028
No deal for Rodrigo Febres at that price
Anzoátegui offered $110.0K; Marítimo de La Guaira said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.
Boardroom24 Jan 2028
3 academy graduates step up at Anzoátegui
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.

Adalberto Peñaranda 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.

A falling-out at Anzoátegui
Juan Silgado and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The terraces24 Jan 2028
One of their own: Jesús Castellano
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
