Squad

Tempers go at Ayacucho

Mario Ramírez 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

A row about effort at Ayacucho

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Guillermo Vernal was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Talks stall between Ayacucho and Joazhiño Arroé

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

Joazhiño Arroé brings the grey hairs Ayacucho lacked

At 34, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

The dugout

Edison Unocc is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout

Jiries Salem gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jiries Salem is on it.

Squad

A falling-out at Ayacucho

Manuel Olaya and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Guillermo Vernal 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.

Market

Ayacucho bring in an old head

Gianfranco Castellanos is 38 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.
