Kevin Parra keeps Valledupar in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

No sign of nerves from Juan Sanchez at 20 — 8.72

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Juan Sanchez did not need any: 8.72, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings21 Jun 2038

Age has not caught Leonel Niklinski yet — 8.35

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.35 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad21 Jun 2038

Rafael Lima keeps the receipts

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

Squad21 Jun 2038

At 20, Juan Sanchez is already the best thing here

An average of 7.02 in a first team he is several years too young for. Valledupar have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Squad21 Jun 2038

Defences have started doubling up on Bisnat Mbala

9 goals and a season average of 7.52 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match19 Jun 2038

Valledupar find a way past Depor

Depor made Valledupar work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings21 Jun 2038

One of those days for Bisnat Mbala

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Valledupar supporters have found a favourite in Bruno Oliveira

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Bruno Oliveira has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad26 Jan 2037

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bisnat Mbala

70 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Valledupar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad26 Jan 2037

Miguel Garcia 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 Valledupar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

10 academy players handed senior numbers at Valledupar

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match24 Jan 2037

Valledupar come up short against America de Cali

America de Cali left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market26 Jan 2037

Daniel Herrera steps up from the Valledupar academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daniel Herrera 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.

Market26 Jan 2037

Valledupar promote Manuel Montero from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Manuel Montero 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: Cristian Mejia joins the Valledupar first team

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

Market26 Jan 2037

Leonardo Gonzalez steps up from the Valledupar academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Leonardo Gonzalez 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.

Javier Herrera 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.
