Josen Escobar puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at America de Cali, and it is not being withdrawn.
Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Yojan Garcés, 20, steals the show — 7.71
Marked 7.71 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Omar Bertel wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

A falling-out at America de Cali
Jean and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The terraces28 Sep 2026
One of their own: Yojan Garcés
He is 20 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.

Yojan Garcés the difference as America de Cali beat Santa Fe
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Yojan Garcés. 1‑0 against Santa Fe, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Carlos Robles
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Carlos Robles, and the manager let it.

A row about effort at America de Cali
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Yeison Guzmán was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Too much change too quickly at America de Cali
18 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
