The Los Andes Courier
The terraces16 Feb 2032
Supporters organise against the Los Andes board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Reza Khodadad asks to leave Los Andes
“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.

Alan Ríos frozen out at Los Andes
This is not rotation. Alan Ríos has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Los Andes is pretending otherwise.

Alan Ríos 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 Los Andes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match14 Feb 2032
Alvarado take the points off Los Andes
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Boardroom16 Feb 2032
132% of the income goes out in wages at Los Andes
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Nobody could get near Luis Peralta
Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Interim Coach faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
Looking ahead16 Feb 2032
A test against the best for Los Andes
The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Flandria.
In brief
- Squad Sergio Ortiz, 18, is the weekend’s best young player
- Market The Federico Mautone talk will not go away
- The dugout Hernán Cabrera gets it from the manager
