From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Theodoros Torosidis keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Tempers go at Trujillanos

Helzon Pomozy was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Roberto Cordova has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Trujillanos will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Trujillanos

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Match

9 matches without a win for Trujillanos

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Trujillanos are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

Juan Osorio has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Trujillanos can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad

Thiago Cialdella has been here 17 seasons

314 appearances across 17 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad

Andres Ferraresi keeps the receipts

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

Market

Darwin Castillo asks to leave Trujillanos

“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.

Market

Zulia are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Trujillanos will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Helzon Pomozy 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 Trujillanos this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Trujillanos come up short against Caracas

Caracas left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Diego Otero

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

Match

Trujillanos are in real trouble now

Position 14, 14 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Llaneros come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Trujillanos did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Diego Otero asks to leave Trujillanos

“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.

Match

No end in sight to Trujillanos's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Trujillanos has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Valentín Herrera

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Gabriel Cordova signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gabriel Cordova commits to Trujillanos for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Trujillanos

Simón Comesaña was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Trujillanos come up short against Atletico Venezuela

Atletico Venezuela left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
